Aman's Blog....

Yes I shall be leaving tomorrow. I shall be taking up a very tough assignment as the participants are really going to be a tough nut to crack.  This is also the first time I am going to go for this also.  Lets see what happens? To spice up things a little bit more, I am not well too.  Pray for me guys that everything goes fine!Really need them!

WOW!No I didn't buy Vista :-). Today was the official launch of Oracle Database 11g  , the newest version of its flagship product, database. I did watch the official launch telecast of it. There are a lot of new features that were announced. Well my thoughts about 11g are some what mixed.  I didn't feel the earth shattered as it did when 10g came into the market. Oracle database 10g's arrival was like waiting for Harry Potter's new book.  All were so much excited as after a long association with "i", Oracle now was going to use "g" and some thing called Grid Technolgy.And I must say, there are tons of good things that have come with 10g.I completely agree that there are( and will be more coming )with 11g but still I felt, 11g's launch and its arrival was taken a bit lightly.  The concepts of 10g are used and enhanced in full swing in 11g. There are a lot of new featured discussed in the live webcast of 11g from Oracle and some are really very ni...

I went for an hair cut today in the morning. No there is nothing special about it :-). So when I was leaving from there, I saw one institute and I thought to go and have a sneak peak that whether it can help me in some things which I am looking floor.  I went to one floor up and than was sent back to the real place by a couple. Anyhow, I asked the lady on the reception about the details and she asked me to go to another cabin.  Wait alright lets see , I said to myself and I was there.  A lady came called Mona( manager over there) , very pleasant yet having a very impressive personality.  After formal introduction , I explained to her my purpose of visiting the place and also what I am looking for.  So she explained me all the points that she covers in her program and also discussed about what I may need and how would I get that?Well it was a long chat.  I really took a lot of time of hers and I must say that she never said a word even. We discussed a ...

I am sure you must be thinking so much that how Aman is posting so much when he is traveling ;-). Well I was supposed to travel from yesterday but my this week tour got canceled and now my next tour will start from this Sunday. So that's why you are hearing so much from me :-).

I am blogging from some time now on my Blogger blog  and on my WordPress blog.  I always wanted to have a website of my own so I made my website on Tripod(free)   and also using APEX technology . I yet have to have a full fledge website of my own, I mean which will be run by me and will also be hosted by me but that too will happen very soon. For any site, how its accessed and what are the search statistics for it by Google  and Yahoo  search robots. I was just reading Tim sir's blog  where in one post he has mentioned that Andy C  has posted about   Google Webmasters and Yahoo SiteExplorer . I never knew about these two tools so I thought to see whether my sites and blogs are indexed or not? Gladly they are and now the next task for me is to authenticate my blogs and sites with them which is a matter of concern as only Blogger allows to have a template which can be modified and so is Tripod whose site HTML can be modified.WordPress cant ...

I was reading a mail when this came to me. I guess they are all pretty right! Nonetheless they made me smile and yes definitely increased my knowledge.  Hope you like it too.  Have a read and yes let me know these Female Rules are correct or not?.Happy reading. 1. The Female always makes THE RULES. 2. THE RULES are subject to change without notice. 3. No Male can possibly know all THE RULES. 4. If the Female suspects the Male knows all THE RULES, she must immediately change some of THE RULES. 5. The Female is never wrong. 6. If it appears the Female is wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding caused by something the Male did or said wrong. 7. If Rule #6 applies, the Male must apologize immediately for causing the misunderstanding. 8. The Female can change her mind at any time. 9. The Male must never change his mind without the express written consent of The Female. 10. The Female has every right to be angry or upset at any time. 11. The Male mu...

Yup I got back just now in the morning at about 9am. The whole trip was okay, in fact I got some really good comments from the participants and also I came to know that some of my old students referred my name with pride to others.  Its a big thing for a person like me who doesn't know much.  I really appreciate the trust my students displayed on me and the respect they gave to me.  I definitely learnt some new things, one about ASM and the other about a recovery of the loss of all the redo log files.  That was a really nice thing to learn. Only one thing was a little upsetting and weird too. When I was leaving from home and caught my bus to Delhi, there was a family in the bus with 2 ladies and 1 gents and some kids.  That guy who was along with those ladies left them in the bus and went some where. Coz of this, bus had to wait for almost 30 minutes.  I was really upset, amazed at the same time seeing all this happening.  Those ladies were crea...

Yes I came back today but I shall be leaving again tomorrow.  Yup I came back for one day only.  Last tour was okay( I hope so).I got some really good comments from the participants so for me that's the assurance that everything went okay.  Rest everything was normal except there was ( and now this situation has become worse.) so much rain back there in Mumbai.I was lucky enough to come out yesterday and no delay was issued for my flight.  But from today onwards almost all the flights are now getting either delayed or worse,yup canceled. Now tomorrow I shall be leaving.  This would be for a client side and its been a while I have taken that module so I am a little shaky.  I hope and wish everything goes fine.  Pray for me guys! And about the moment of achievement, today I have received an award of appreciation from my manager. According to him, I have done good work.  I am thankful and happy about receiving but if you ask me to open my heart, I...

Yes I shall be leaving tomorrow.  Once again, there are some of the toughest modules ahead.  I shall be (hopefully) coming back on weekends and will be leaving on Sundays.  But that's something which is not so important.  The modules that are going to come in front of me are very tough ones and I really am feeling so much nervous.  Pray for me guys that everything goes well and absolutely fine!

I have cleared my 10g DBA certification today.  It was long due and was one of the biggest burdens on my head. I have cleared it with a decent score.  Definitely it still doesn't mean that I know Oracle 10g inside out as there is ( and always will be) so much yet to learn but now I am feeling a bit relieved

I couldn't write about the wedding that happened of my friend Puja.Its just that I am a little struck up in some thing which is not leaving me any room for the updation of any events.  Well the wedding went really fine.  It was all very well planned and done and the entire credit for that goes to Kavita who despite being injured did everything and managed everything so well.  I am happy as I was able to attend this wedding coz I would be leaving on this Sunday for a long tour which will leave me coming and going, so it was good that I was able to attend it and was a part of it.  Once again, my heartiest congratulations to Puja and Ashish.

Last night , I went to my friend Puja's home. Her wedding is today and it was a pre-wedding dance and music function. Its a love marriage which is going to happen. I had seen what and how all this has come up to these happy moments and I really wish that Puja and Aashish would be forever happy and smiling. Function went great.  There was so much of dancing and music everywhere.  Did I dance?Well if you have asked this that means you don't know that I believe some one must be in the audience too and that's exactly where I am always.  Wedding will be in the day time hmm after about 2 hours it will start.  Its raining too today.  Lets hope it wont spoil the celebrations.  Did I say "spoil the celebrations"?Just remembering some thing synch with these words.  Anyway time for me to get ready and than leave.  Excuse me,I have a wedding to attend :-).

Love stories and love letters are so much important to those who are in Love or/and who long to be in love.  So don't they matter to me or I don't like them?Well I shall talk about this some other time. Here what I just found. A guy has sent a letter to his love ( or friend or whatever you want to call) and gets a reply.  It made me smile so I thought will share it with you. Firstly it will be the guy's letter and then it will be the reply of the gal to him.  Let me know you liked it or not?  Rahul's love letter to Ankita in Q/A format.... My Dearest Ankita!!

I have not posted much though its being 9 days since I have come back. Its not because I don't have anything in heart to say. There is a lot that is there inside. Alot of anger is there over so many things, people. But I am not able to give it a face in the form of words. It just feels there is so much emptiness inside. I don't know what's the reason for it but yes this is the state of mind at the moment and I have no idea how to fill this emptiness.

Yes it is.  After almost 20 years, mom had been promoted and also got the place of her choice. From last some time there were lots of problems going on at her school.  Finally she is able to come out from that environment and also from the company from those people who didn't value her and her presence there.  Anyways its just a very happy moment for entire family.Congrats mom!

I am in a very bad mood at the moment. There is so much anger and  I am so much upset. I don't know what to say and what to not? There are some things about which I shall talk some time later. I am listening songs at the time when I am writing this, trying to calm myself but not able to do it, nothing is helping. All this is there and to make things worse, I am not feeling well too.  No idea what to do or where to go? I am really missing my punching bag which if would be here today, I would have torn it apart! I guess there is no other way out except to just sit and bear this pain.

Some times, some lines, some words paint such a good picture in front of you that you can actually see the depth of those words, lines in that pictures so lively in front of your eyes.  My friend Kavita has found some lines on her machine and have posted them on her blog here . Truly amazing lines!As Kavita said in the post, they do really represent the true emotions of a person who has given away everything of his to get just one thing, Love!I am posting the lines here also but all the credits for this post goes absolutely to Kavita only.  Have a read: You gave me some life You gave some reason to live that life! You were so near but so far! I laughed when you laughed I cried when you were sad I wanted to see the lightening smile Always on your face.  All your grief is mine! All the happiness in this world is yours! You were too far but, so near! Just a heartbeat away! There was a time Where life looked like a fairy tale, It was just you and me, Nothing else! Yo...

Yes I just got back in the morning today after a long and tiring tour.  This tour was a little bit hectic and a little bit different from the other ones for couple of reasons.  Except one part ( which too did not bad but as they say once you are in habit of being the best you cant get satisfied being just "good" , so one tour was like that).So in the total, this whole tour was okay. My first stay was at Calcutta.  Calcutta, I had been there some time back before for the first time.  That time I didn't actually go to Calcutta but a place near to it and than I went to Calcutta for 1 day.  Some memories came up instantly into the mind when I landed up there in Calcutta.  I went to Calcutta for official reasons but that time it was for a personal reason.  I was trying to go to Malaysia and  in that process I had to go to Calcutta for 3 days.  I remember that place so well coz in 3 days, I spent 2 days watching tv only without any phone or anyth...

Yes its correct.  I shall be leaving tomorrow for a long travel.  This time once again , I shall be facing very toughest challenges both in the case of modules and also clients.  I am not sure what will happen.  But I just hope that everything would go fine.  Pray for me guys!

I read a lot of blogs and a lot of love stories, watch not much but yes some good love movies too.  But I am not sure that I ever read some thing like this in my life before. If you have ever loved some one from the deep of the heart, you would love this letter written by Scarlett .I have no more better words to say this that Scarlett has written a life in these few paragraphs.  For any comments, please give them on the original post coz they are much deserved there only.  I am posting entire post here just to save too many page jumps.  Have a read: Dear , I know I will never post this letter but I need to write this for, like they say, every relationship is complete only when it ends. It came as an email, the invitation to your wedding and I was besides myself to read about the girl who would be your wife. You didn't send me the email of course, it was forwarded by a friend who had known us from the time when such a wedding invitation would have been an unspeakabl...
