Yes I am leaving tomorrow. I am really so much tense this time. I just hope that every thing goes fine. Wish me luck and pray for me guys! Really need it!

Yes I got back late night yesterday and I shall be leaving tomorrow again. This time, it was a mixture of issues that happened, thankfully nothing happened in my program but there were other issues that did arise. Thanks to all of your wishes, my program went well. It was a very packed module this time as we finished the curriculum of 5 days in 3 days. So you can expect that what would be the pace that I had to pick up and how much the audience was grilled by me ;-)? But that was the need of the time and I couldn't help it. Even we went really fast and packed, I got some very nice comments on the last day of the program about me. For the first time I heard that the audience submitted the feedback forms which are online at our premises on the very first day of the program. According to them, they judge the person on the first day and that impression doesn't change. They did like the program and that's what is the best thing for me. Now coming on issues. In my class progra

Yes I shall be leaving tomorrow. I am not having a good feeling from inside. I don't know why? And on the top of everything, I am not in a good mood too. Hope everything goes fine. Lets see what happens? Pray for me guys!

Saawariya  was among the most awaited movies in this year for Indian movie industry. I happened to see this movie with my sister in cinema. Yup you heard it right, I went to a movie hall.Infact after about almost 10 years.  I vowed that when ever I shall go to movie, I shall go with some one else but that wont happen I guess and my sister was keen to watch this movie so I joined her and went. So how is the movie? Well its kind of ironic but my last couple of posts were about pains of love and how one feels when left by his/her love and this movie was no different as gal leaves the boy in the end.Snajay Leela Bhansali picked up two newcomers, Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor and have tried to portray a story of 4 nights when the guy meets the gal. To be really true about the movie, its not like a movie, its like you are watching a play. Like in the play, on the same set, everything is happening, people come and go, different scenes of different moods are on the same set. So was the case

Yes I am just listening from last 2 hours Shail's Hiriye Soniye  about which I wrote also here.  When you will see the video, you will see that the guy never cares about the gal. Its his wish when he will talk to her, meet her. Even when its his own birthday and the gal waits for him for 3 hours, for him its a wastage. Her love, care, emotions all seem to be a botheration for him. In the last moments of the video, gal is in tears and says few lines to the guy which are some thing like this, "coz I love you so much that's why you do this to me. You see the day when I shall leave you forever and go, you will cry so much and look for me but I wont come back.". I am just listening these lines with the song. How much pain she is feeling at that moment can't be described in words. Don't know why people hurt those only who love them so much? A heart touching song as I said before too and a must watch video too. Even if you wont understand the language, if you have e

Some times when you get hurt physically, the wounds hurt you for a very long time. Their pain never lets you sit calmly and with every moment, you feel a very strong pain at that place. Some time, these wounds heal fastly but there are time when it takes a long time for them to heal. With that, the pain does go away but some time when you sit and just think (and some times even when you don't do it yourself), those moments of pain, that time of injury shivers you and you feel the same pain, even if its years since the last time when it happened to you. Though the wound has been healed but still you feel the pain just like it was yesterday when it started. Wounds on the body are still able to heal mostly. But there are some wounds which are never seen and there are some pains which have no sound. These wounds are not caused by any physical accidents but they are given by those people whom one takes as his life. These wounds don't come over the body and bleed like the normal on

I wish to you all a very happy and prosperous Diwali. For those who don't know much about this one of the biggest festivals of India, you can read about it here.  Enjoy this day of joy with your friends, family and dear ones with lots of sweets and crackers. Heartiest wishes from me to all of you!

Yes I am back today morning. It was a good and some what a bit relaxed tour. Well as like always, what matters to me the most is the program must go well and the audience must be happy and contended.  I guess I got that so yes I am happy! As like always, I left from my home to catch my flight which was supposed to fly at 8pm from Delhi domestic airport. Without much of the trouble, I got Delhi at about 4pm by bus and in next one hour,means at 5pm I was at airport. Well there wasn't much rush at that time on the airport so I thought that it would be easy for the first time to complete all the check in details and everything. Well to some extent, it was right too. But all the happiness and smile flew away of mine when I came to know at the check in counter that flight is half an hour late and that too is just the estimation.  There is still no clear information that how much more it can be delayed but it will be that is for sure. Great! Well I had no other choice but to wait and wa

Yes that time has come again. I shall be leaving tomorrow for a program which is already going on a very fast pace for different modules by some another persons. Lets see how things will go? Wish me luck and pray for me guys!

If you are working with Oracle than redo log files have a huge impact on the performance of the database. Its some times a huge pain how to attain an optimal size for the redo log files and the corresponding checkpointing and archiving frequency. One option is to find the redo generation rate of your database which is not so-easy option as it will keep on varying.  Second will be the sizing of the redo log files again which becomes a pain coz there is no rule of thumb( well 20minutes as per oracle) given for it. There is one parameter called Archive_lag_target which is described here in oracle docs.  This is given mainly for the dataguard configurations but Howard Rodgers has given a very good explanation for using it on standalone databases too on oracle forums.  It was a good learning to know about it. Here are some links of discussion if you are interested. How often should a database archive its logs Redo log switch Redo log size increase and performance Learning never stops!

Some times, some wordings depict a true story. Those wordings touch you so deep inside that you can actually relate yourself to them. And if the matter is of love, if the matter is of broken hearts than that relation becomes more strong. Last whole night sitting on my pc , I was listening to this song sung by Romey Gill, Tutt Gaye Yarane . I don't like mostly the songs sung by him but this song and most importantly its lyrics are so fabulous that they kept me hooked all night. I shall explain the meaning of the song in English as the original song is in Punjabi. Listen the song and I am sure, even if you don't understand Punjabi, you will be able to feel the pain through the words of this song. Have a read: Lutt ke mohbbatan nu kiti hear feri ve, Tutt gaye yarane, jind fikran ne gheri ve! Hanjuan de saagran vich jindagi di beri hai, Dise na kinara koi maut aap hi saheri hai! Chhadd gaye mallah kiti minnat batheri hai, Tutt gaye yarane jind fikran ne gheri ve! Sar gayi

Some times, there is always an another view of the most commonly occurring things. And that other view is always a little humorous. That's the same I read in the morning. It made me smile so I thought to share it with you all. Let me know how you find it? Have a read: Whenever I find keys to success, some one changes the lock. To error is human. To forgive is not "company policy". The road to success? It is always "under construction". Alchohal doesn't solve any problems. But if you think again, neither does milk. In order to get a loan, you first need to prove that you don't need it. All the desirable things in life are either illegal, expensive, fattening or belong to others. Since light travels faster than sound, people appear brighter before you hear them speak. Every one has a scheme of getting rich. Its just that it never works. If at first you didn't succeed, remove all the evidences that you ever tried! You can never determine tha

I never thought that I would write a blog myself ever. To be really honest, I really didn't know what is a blog actually till so long. Still even after reading others blogs for some time, I never could convince myself that I can write too ( and I really am sure about this that my writing is no where to be called good now too) so I was always a little reluctant about having my own blog. Than way back in September 2005, my first blog post on Blogger  saw the sunshine. Again the color, theme all on the blog were picked coz of a reason and for a person. Than lot of things, people changed and I was like shaken from head to toe for some time( I am still not stable but trying my best to be) and there was a quietness over this space for nearly half a year till the time when I posted that I am still alive.  A lot was going on at that time which was enough to make me distracted and disturbed over lots of things and people. At that time Wordpress also was picking up very fast so my Blogger&#

Oracle has released its newest 11g database for windows platform.  So if you were waiting for it ( and I am sure you were) than your wait is over. Now the only worry of mine is to get that much fast net connection which can download 1.7gb of Oracle for me in 10 minutes ;-).

Tom Kyte  posted about Doug Burns's MEEP post . Moans from Miracle  is hosting this program for the sake of making better and knowledgeable Oracle professionals. I really like the concept and I really think Jan is lucky to get a chance to be in such kind of program. I am sure with all these people helping out him, he will surely do great! And I am just thinking that it would be really so much great if I ( and so many like me) too could have got a chance to be into such kind of a program when I was learning ( and still learning only) Oracle. Life would be really so much different I guess :)!

My sister who is a beautician, yesterday posed as a model for her company for the upcoming festival season's new bridal designs and make ups launched by her company. And her snap is published today  in the local newspaper . I wont say much except this that I am really proud on her and really happy for her. Congrats sis! Keep it up! You are the best!

Howard Rodgers  posted a question today on his blog asking that is it worth  for him to carry on with the Forum? The same thought is meant for the blog and some where for the complete site too. I am not sure how many in Oracle community can differentiate between "quantity" and "quality" as with the passage of time, there are just now too many sites, forums and blogs talking about Oracle and claiming to be an expert in it. But there are just a few and I mean really very few who are truly good. I wont name any one as I shall for sure miss so many from it but yes I would say Tom Kyte, Tim Hall , Howard Rodgers, Tanel Poder and the list goes on and on and on, these are some those people who are genuinely good, really want to help people to learn Oracle and are there always to help for the most tough questions asked ( and some times very basic questions too). I am saying this coz I do ask myself some times very very basic questions and some times some sensible ones. The

Today is Dussehra (Vijayadashmi)  . In India, from this the festival season will begin. Dussehra is the festival of victory of good over evil. I wish and pray to God, all will have a very happy and prosperous year ahead and may God give you all his choicest blessings. Enjoy this day where ever you are with lots of sweets, crackers along with your family,loved and dear ones! Happy Dussehra to all of you!

Yes I am back. I don't know why but this trip was some thing which gave me a lot of troubles and tensions and that too right from the starting of it. Still some how I guess I am able to finish it up with a good note and that's what matters the most! This time there was a change in the travel plan as my manager had to come along with me. So he called me up and said that I need not to take bus as he would take me with him to his place and from there we would go. It sounded right so I said okay for it. Well if you know me already( if you don't than you must know now) than you know that I just hate people who don't value commitment and also are not punctual. I never let that happen in my best powers possible that I never get late from the scheduled time and no one has to wait for me. And I think that's the same that everyone else should do too. But as it is said one cant get all from this world and not all are same.  The same applies to some people who don't reall

Yes I shall be leaving tomorrow for a very tough program. Though I had taken up this program already but all the time, it appears as a new and first time program. To add spice, I am doing it for some people who actually build the stuff than use it. Great! Lets see how it goes.  Pray for me guys!
