Yes I am really so much of both. I got back home today but I need to start in the morning tomorrow again. Its been since morning 5am that I am traveling and I got back home at 6pm. Now I don't normally travel in the day while coming back. I take an evening or night flight and travel back to home in the night only. I was not supposed to come back today as my initial program was for 2 weeks. But the next week's program got canceled and as per my information, I didn't have any program next week. So I thought I shall travel this time in the day and instead of staying awake in the night, which normally happens , I would catch some sleep. But that all got changed and what I thought about taking rest wont happen now. The reason for me being tired is that I didn't sleep at all last night as I was just looking at the watch so that I wont miss my flight and in the travel today , again I couldn't sleep. Well that's okay as it does happen in the travel all the time but the

Today some how it was a Knol  day only as all were talking about it only. Be it Tim    or Eddie Awad . So Google is finally doing what everyone thought long time back it would, taking over almost all over the internet. This is another blow of Google after Gmail for Wikipedia  and I must say that if what is mentioned over the google blog than it means that its really going to shake things up big times. Well its a tad early to really come over on a conclusion. So rest leave all the fuss and speculations behind and try it out. Well guess what I did it already and here is my Knol Bio  and my first knol about Oracle Certification . I am not sure that I shall be how much active over there but lets see how it goes.

Yes they really are. Since yesterday I am feeling more than normal fatigue. I am not really sure why.Okay I am not having proper diets due to the issues happening but still,I didnt feel that before,altleast not for consecutive days. The days are not just tiring but also tough. Yesterday some guys in the session didn't have some required files which they needed for their work. So I had to ask the concerned person to send them to me. Well he did via network immediately but the thing was that I had to now distribute them to the people and there came the issue. As Oracle is not so happy to see DHCP in action, we disabled their network adaptors. It gave us two benefits, one we could work without having any hassles. Second,we could be rest and assured and the guys wont spend time in doing emailing and chatting. But the need struck and we did have to enable DHCP. We did and one by one systems started breaking. It took a lot of time to rectify everything. Starting from Oracle's way o

Yup I got back today morning. It was a long long trip,not because the number of days were very long but because I was really so tired in the last 2 days and was so bored in all the days. There was some fun practising for Oracle 11g but yeah that's all. There was no internet and that put the last nail in the coffin of my boredom :-). As usual I started from my home early in the morning. Though my flight was quite late in the night but still I prefer to start early in order to avoid any sudden mishaps over the way. The journey in the bus was not anything different. It was okay. The only thing which happened was that I was at the airport almost 5 hours before my flight and now I had to sit and wait for the check-in to be started. Great! As I was sitting and waiting , I saw Ishant Sharma and Suresh Raina coming out from the executive waiting lounge. Ok now seriously, if they are not of our Indian cricket team, I really would not even give them a second look too. Well no fuss over the

What it is? Well before you jump on to some thing, let me clear the fog myself, it’s Trave Time , hence T-square :). Yes travel time has come. Though I am not much tensed about the program( doesn’t mean I am completely tension free) but there are some other personal things which are making me worried more than this official one. All I wish and hope is that both remains fine! Pray for me guys, I really need your wishes and prayers!

Since internet has become more like a need rather than a plaything, browsers have also started getting to become more and more smarter. I still remember the days when there were news of Microsoft's Internet Explorer with Netscape, all the law suits everything. But times have changed now. Now there are lots of options available to us even if we are using Mickysoft ;-). At the moment, Mozilla's Firefox  and Opera 9.5  are the two browsers which are looking right into the eyes of IE7. Surely Apple's Safari  is there too but I really don't see it as a major competitor to mentioned 3, at least not where I am i.e. India. Though I am a big fan of Steve Jobs and Apple's Mac operating system( yet to buy my own mac book) but still I really don't see Safari penetrating too deep into the browser market. I may be wrong but that's what my feeling is. So I am sure you may have got the idea that my rambling will be limited to first two only :). Opera 9.5 Well I am using

Some times in few lines only, a lot is said. Words have so much power that in an instant, they can make you cry or laugh. I just read these lines and they touched me immediately. They are depicting the state of that person whose beloved has left him alone. In few lines, a lot has been said! These are in Punjabi. I shall explain their meaning in English in a while. Have a read: Asin haar da mukh kade vekheya nai c, Sanu sajjna da gum maar gaya! Asin dosh kise nu ki dena, Jadon sada sajjan sanu mano visar gaya! Sannu ik dilan da vapari takkar gaya! Oh khushian lai gaya apni jholi, Te saade utton gamman nu vaar gaya! Asin chah k v na nikkal sake, Aise ishq de anne khuhe utar gaya! Oh din saanu kade v bhullda nai, Jis din alvida keh ke saada yaar gaya! Us yaar nu poojeya rabb waang, Par oh saanu jiondeyan nu maar gaya! And their meaning in English is: I never saw any moment of despair, loss, Just the pain given by my love has killed me! Whom I can put blame on, When my love only has th

Okay so I am an Aquarian and this is about me. My friend sent me a page listing the traits of an Aquarian Man. I found it very-near-to-true! So thought share it with you all. Let me know how much you think is true with your comments. As always, they are most welcome! Have a read: There is hardly any person on this earth whom an Aquarius man doesn't like. He is a people's person and almost every second person he meets becomes his friend. If he likes you, you are one of the many people he has befriended. It is when he doesn't like you at all or he likes you way too much that there are chances he has noticed you from amongst his numerous pals. As per an Aquarian male, the best way to pass the time is to probe into people's life and know their innermost feelings. The same doesn't hold true for himself. He wants to hide his feelings from everyone and deliberately makes his reactions complex, just for the fun of fooling others. Love is just another experience for him,

I am just feeling so alone! There is so much wrong going on which is not letting me think anything right. At this moment, those people who promised to be with me always, they are not here and wont be too, this is hurting so much! Not sure what will happen, just wishing that what ever will happen, will be just good,nothing bad as its not possible to bear just so many blows. Just pray that everything remains fine!

Okay this will be a short one as I am traveling and having a tough time.  But this is something which I found very funny so thought to share with you. I got a call from Worldspace Radio  sales person. He asked me that when he can come to me so that he would be able to present a demo of the Worldspace Radio and its services. He spent some time to explain to me about price, features and all that. Well I told him that I am traveling so I shall be available in my city after a while. But I was curious to know that he got my number? To this what he replied is some thing which made me jump off my seat and I couldn't stop laughing. He said that their company has the data and details of all the people in my city who are "extremely rich" and yours truly somehow got listed in the same list :-). Well I was able to say this only that this must be a mistake but he said no this isn't and he simply refused to listen anything what I was saying about that I am not at all any richy ric

Yes I shall be leaving tomorrow. This time I have stayed beyond my normal timings. Thanks to my accident, I had to cancel couple of programs of mine. Anyways I shall be leaving tomorrow and to make things spicy, I shall be doing two toughest programs for the "originators" of the technology itself. Great! So it means its not going to be any joy ride. Lets see what happens? Things are not so good. I am just hoping that all would go well and stay like that only. Pray for me guys, I really need all of them now!

Cafe Coffee Day(CCD)  is one place where I like to go whenever I get a chance and have some spare time. Alone? Well yeah I go alone most of the time. Seems like no one else likes coffee ;-). But yes I go alone as for me that time, I am just with my self. Its a great fun to sip coffee and watch people doing funny things all over the time. I have just been to CCD few days back with my sister and her friend. My sister wanted to do some shopping so I had to go along. While coming back, we sat in the new joint of CCD,3rd in my city. Well I didn't like the place at all. It didn't look like a cafe joint but rather a college canteen. Anyways I tasted a new taste(not so new but first time in CCD). I really want to go to my favorite joint and sit for some time there. The only problem is that I am not able to make up mind to go there. There are certain things happening which are stopping me from going there mentally. Lets see when I shall go? Those who know me ,they will confirm this th

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

Just now I saw this video when it was sent to me by one friend of mine. And what ever is mentioned for this video in its description is indeed true. Love is blind as they may say but its all about choosing between your wish and your love. If you understand the importance of love, the choice comes easily between two. A very touching video I must say,showing something which is very hard to do despite how much one he/she boasts of! I am posting the video right here. The song is not in English as the band, Kiss J-Intercom is a Korean band. The song is in the same language. I am posting the video which is having English subtitles of lyrics.  I shall be the posting the lyrics too here.  Watch the video here, Here are the lyrics, Its's impossible to understand What's going through a guy's heart! You tole me that you wanted me and now that I've given you everything,you tell me you're leaving! You told me that it was the first time you felt this way, and said that I was

Life is full of wishes. We have lots of dreams and for all of them, we make lots of wishes. Some times those things come to us which we had always wished and some times , those things come to us which we had never wished to have in our wildest dreams even. But despite for few times when we don't get what we wish,we never give up.  As wishes are and will be always there in our lives. They make humans! If they are not any , one still must zero upon few wishes, Where he wants to be in his life, what he wants to achieve! If one doesn't have these things in his mind, he should sit and think about all these things. After all we have got just one life and we must make sure that in this very life only , we do accomplish all that what we ever wished! Just like wishes, we also have choices. Choice like either to pick right things or to go for wrong ones. Choice to make some one happy or give him tears. Choices to take away everything from some one and still call him selfish! Choice that

I never thought that I would be able to write some thing,some thing which would be having any sort of relation with art. I don't know how such nice things in our literature are written. But still , as it is said, sometimes, you don't know what will happen which will make you do unbelievable things.  The same happened and I wrote my  first poem, Few Words . And then I wrote 2 more,  Once Again  and  Few Words Again . As I mentioned at over these posts too, I am not at all a poet or even closer to that.  Its just what I felt and wrote, just tried to give face to feelings with words that's all! I haven't written another "few lines". This time its just 2 lines! And except for explaining the meaning in English ( as the original is in Hindi), I wont be explaining anything about it. If you have loved, you would be able to understand the meaning yourself. If you have never been in love and won't understand the meaning, let me know and I shall try to explain. So

I got this one in my mail! I am not a programmer and I really don't like programming much. May be that's the reason I chose to become an Database Administrator(which still I have to become though) but this programming is something which I guess even person like me could understand it and as like added bonus,it made me smile too! So have a read, class Single_ female_professional                                   {                                                                 double styles; short skirts; long time_to_understand_ problems; float mind; void knowledge(); har non_co_operative;  };                                                                                                                                                 class Married_female_ Software _Professional                                 {                                                             double weight; short tempered; long gossips; float hopes; void work(); char unstable;  };          

We never wish to cry or be in tears do we? ?We always want to be happy and smiling all the time. But some times, all one wants and wishes is to hug some one so tight and just cry his heart full! But some times tears despite being our best friend , leave us and don't come! They don't come because there is no one around whom we can hug, there is no shoulder besides where we  can rest. That hurts so much! So much! I am quoting few lines which are penned by the legend Shiv Kumar Batalvi , a writer about whom it is said that he doesn't write words but fire. These are explaining the feelings of a person who is just broken and just wants to cry thanks to the endless pains! These are in Punjabi. I shall explain the meaning in English in a while. Have a read, Jaach aa gayi hai mainu gam khan di, Hauli huali ro ke jee parchan di! Changa ho gaya tun paraya ho gaya, Mukk gayi chinta tainu apnan di! Mar tan jan par damma walio, Dharti vi mull hai vikdi shamshan di! Na deo mainu saah

Last night was the worst night. I wont tell the reason why but  I am broken. For the very first time, I am so much upset and feeling so low in my life. And I am feeling alone, really alone! There is no one and there wont be any one who would share this burden of pain with me. Why it is that when you need some one, he is not there and it hurts even more to think that he could be there if he wanted to! Really don't know why.

Howard Rogers  is one of those very few persons who are really the best in the business. It was a shame that due to some thing happened in the Oracle community, he had to take a decision and close his doors for entire Oracle community. I won't go into the details of that incident here again. The good news is that he is back now.  Well not completely and I doubt it will be like the old times ever again but for me, its the most best thing that he has again opened his site and I really hope he keeps it open for a while.
