First day of the ptrogram it was just awesome we just had a bunch of  laughs.. second day onwards its just like the C and data structure sessions which I was having in the first week of joining. Time has passed and I have'nt seen my homepage of orkut neither my facebook account.. I dont know what would have happened in Mafia wars till now... London job will be getting over really soon.

A new Journey

So finally after a year of enjoyment at home. It's back to work.. Time to start off new things..
So I won't be able to enjoy home food for a long time now ( ask my stomach it knows... :-D). Last year was one year I did all that I wanted for a long long time.... I  played each and every piece of shit my PS2 could offer to me... From the horrifying Silent Hill to the comic Rachet & Clank...
Last year was also a year I was the most active on net based social sites... and like every new thing soon each and every thing you cherish and enjoy.. soon loses its charm.. after some time.... Well that was to it... it was a also a year I cursed people watching them at the news... and finally realizing I was a mere nothing and could definitely do nothing about.. so after 3 hours of boiling my head I would come back to normal...



The last year it was all about when would the joining dates would come, when I would join the company I was placed in .. in campus.. 5 months.. then 8 months then it was revealed.. somewhere in july..so what I do.. sit back and enjoy till this time lasted... and somewhere in my heart I knew this time will never come back...

I made new frens , got to know new people,, got time to have some time with my ol school frens, family after such a loong time.. , going out to new places I never saw in my life (ANDAMAN NICOBAR, ASSAM,ARUNACHAL PRADESH) it was a new life pointing to somewhere from the good ol days... jus that the conditions had changed.This was just a vacation from the life that had just started when I left home to pursue my Engineering studies.


Last week I joined Wipro @ Pune.. Life was hard at first (ofcourse after living like a king at home.. it was going to be hard to be get used to the new environment,,,).Second week into training I have made new friends.. here.. but journey is long.. and I hope I will have more things to remember when I leave...


With this...I ask for your gracious leave.,

Sleep - " A NizManiac's original"

 It was a breezy little afternoon. I was sitting in the shade of a tree in a park watching the passerby's, some with their families, some couples of boys and girls , and some just casually roaming around with friends.

And here I was sitting all alone.........



Today Morning, we had to reach this place known as "Makaudi", my father was driving the car, mom sitting next to him and my brother sleeping with his head on my lap in the backseat, and well I was busy with my mobile listening music, trance being the usual flavour.

It was about 2 in the morning that time, I was constantly glaring out of the window with my drowsy eyes trying to shut off the view, though it felt nice looking at all the trees and small huts passing by, but it was kind of boring  too.. Too monotonous and well it was too dark to see anything most of the times. After traversing some distance we saw a Dhaba. Driving at night is a tiresome job, Dad was feeling sleepy too, had to open those shutting eyelids. We stopped there, Dad and I came out, it was a great relief to put the foot on the ground, my legs had gone to sleep sitting in the car for so long. Mom and Bro were rather comfortable sleeping. So Dad and I ordered ourselves some bread omelets and tea, avoiding heavy food famous for inducing sleep and sleep on the highways is the biggest enemy. Dad took out a cigarette  from his shirt's pocket , popped it in his mouth and took a breath of relief. I was watching him smoke while I was sipping the tea. Wondering how long the journey will take now, I asked," Dad, when are we going to reach Makaudi?".
" Soon son, it's still a 5 hrs journey from here , it's 3:15 now , so we will reach there by 8.30.", was the dad's reply still smoking.

"Hey dad why don't you keep a driver to drive the car on long journey's , why with the tiring stuff?"
He took his cigarette out of his mouth , blew the smoke out from his mouth, put his hand on my shoulder," ' Cause son , I  love to drive on a long journey, and it's sort of a occasional passion of mine, I cannot let a driver take it away, Now can I?" and then he resumed his smoking with occasional sips of tea in between.We then finished off with the omelets quickly, we had wasted a lot of time here already.Mom was still in deep sleep next to dad's seat and my bro was sleeping fully stretched at the back seat. Seeing them sleeping so comfortably, Dad sighed," Wish I could sleep like they are sleeping right now, I am feeling quite drowsy myself, but I have to drive, you feeling sleepy son?" I shook my head in negation."Good then, let's wake up your mom, and ask her to move to the backseat, I can't drive with someone sleeping just next to me.Makes me feel even more drowsy."We woke up mom and then she went to the backseat. I then took up mom's seat that was just vacated and at 3.45 we resumed our journey.

I plugged in the headphones and resumed my musical journey, dad was driving continuously humming along some ol' song to keep on going. " Dad,  how nice it would have been, if we never had to sleep?" , I asked.
" No, Son , sleep is necessary , 'cause if you won't sleep , you won't dream, if you won't dream you won't have any anything to achieve. Most of the things we dream of are the things we desire in life.Besides sleep is good for the body and brain and well one day we all have to sleep a long never ending sleep, well now stop talking I have to drive and stop talking about sleep otherwise you'll go to the back seat too!"
"Aye Aye Sir!" I exclaimed and shut my mouth. With a smile he resumed his driving , next few moments I saw only trees snooping down on the side of the roads as if they were falling down by their own weight, or maybe they were too tired and were trying to get a shut eye themselves before the Sun starts off again. Getting bored , out of nowhere I found myself drowning in the drowsiness and then my eyes shut off.

I saw a cave across  the river with a wooden bridge, while crossing it I looked up and saw clear sky with the moon and stars shining, the river flowed calmly below. The lands on both sides of the bridge were entirely different. The side I was moving from was mushy and green while on the other side, the land lie barren with deep cracks. The river flowing as if it was cutting both the lands never to meet. And till as far as my eyes could see the land and the river were going on till infinity hand in hand. After crossing the bridge I came to the entrance of the cave , I had a lighter in my pocket, I lighted it and went inside, it was an endless cave I walked and walked and walked, the lighter went silent after some time with last drop of fuel in it burned away, I looked back it was all the same as what was ahead of me all dark.I started to run in the forward direction hoping I would see the opening soon.Suddenly , I saw a light at a distance. I thought it was the exit but that light was moving towards me and I just stood at my place seeing this , too surprised to even imagine what it might be? I thought, " What the hell is going on around here, exits can't move.!" I heard a voice," wake up!!! open your eyes!! wake up!!"

I opened my eyes in a sudden rush, dad waking me up with one hand and with other hand on the steering wheel."I told you not to sleep on the front seat.!" I looked on the road and shouted !!!,  "Watch out! AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! " Dad turned  his gaze on the road........................


and it all soon became dark.



_________________________________________________________________________________

I opened my eyes and saw myself in a room with a light shining above me..I sat up straight rubbing my eyes, my head aching like hell. I somehow, after a few mins came out of the room, I found myself to be in a hospital.Two rooms later I saw my parents and my bro on their beds sleeping , I went inside dad had some stitches on his head and some injuries on his body, mom and bro had some minor injuries . " Thank God everyone is safe",I said to myself.  It was such a relief to see everyone alright!. I sat there for a few minutes waiting for the doctor or nurse to arrive. Next 15 minutes no one came. I saw a park outside through the window.
"Better get some fresh air outside.., maybe by that time the doctor may come", with this thought in mind I proceeded to the sunny outside!

---------------------------------------------------------------XXXX--------------------------------------------------------

Under the shade of a tree I sat down watching the passerby's , I laid down and watched the leaves ruffling as the winds passed through them, and the sun trying to sneak its light in between.I kept on looking at infinity when something popped up in my mind Flashes of my dream, the accident all came to my mind all of a sudden.It all was starting to make sense, the light approaching towards me in that cave was the vehicle which was coming towards us. It was all my fault!, I had slept, and that broke Dad's concentration . It was all my fault, with agony and guilt I hid my head between my knees, reciting it again, and again "It was my fault, I SLEPT!", a few moments later I lifted my head and saw all the people happy, enjoying themselves and I was sitting here all alone!. I stood up and proceeded back towards the hospital room.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I entered the room my Mom, Dad and bro still sleeping. I placed a kiss on their foreheads and sat next to them waiting for them to wake up and talk to me. I saw my father slowly opening his eyes, the doctor then arrived. I stood up to let him sit on the seat I was occupying all this time. He came next to my father, took the seat , and started checking his pulse. I asked," are they alright?". The doctor did'nt say a word.Still laying on the bed my dad asked him," What happened to us?". The doc with his expressions unchanged replied," Well, you had an accident last night , your car had collided with a jeep on the highway, luckily the jeep was not running at high speed, were you drunk?".My dad nodded in negation.
The doc continued,"Luckily all of you escaped with some injuries, the locals brought you here to the hospital, thanks to them you are still alive." On hearing this my dad looked around trying to find something and in sudden desperation asked,"Where is my elder son? Is he alright?". "Hello, I am he... ", I waved my hand to him smiling.The doc interrupted me in between," Actually sir, we were not able to save him."
NOT ABLE TO SAVE HIM ??? What the heck?? That means not able to save me?."Hello, I am here, see..I am okay!". The dad looked at me with moist eyes, the doc continued," actually the glass of the front windshield, broke off, during the accident, and..." with a little pause..." and one of the piece pierced right through his head, He was dead when he arrived here. I am sorry, there was nothing we could do.....", hearing this dad broke down to tears.

"WHAT???? this cant be true.. I am alive ,hey !!, I am alive it cant be true.", I shouted but nobody listened. I ran out of the room and went back to the room I had woken up in. I went to the bed beneath the lamp hanging from the ceiling. Somebody lie there, covered with a cloth. I went up to him, after watching the bed for a moments, I finally pulled down the cloth.

----------------------------------------------------------XX-----------------------------------------------------------------

I kept on looking at that body......"Tis true, I am dead, this is no dream." There I lay , on the stretcher , realizing it was not a bed, I saw myself, my whole face smeared with blood, a huge swelling on my head with a cut in it.That bloody piece of glass had gone right through my skull.It all made sense now, the headache, the blackout, No wonder no one could hear or see me, why I did not dream while I was sleeping in the hospital?, yes it all made sense, Dead cannot dream, and I was dead. I cried , I did not know what to do..I shouted,"What now??What!!!!!" .

A voice rang in my head ,"Sleep , close your eyes, you have been awake too long, you lived your time, its time for your final sleep", I kept looking at the my body, with one last gaze, I laid down where my body lay, closed my eyes.The light ran away from me, I was thrown back into the dark.
It was my final Good Night.

Working with MYSQL and NETBEANS

Well here you have it folks two of the world's most powerful open source technologies. First one for database management and second is one of the most powerful IDE's in the market today.
Today I am not here to describe about them but connecting both of them together to work on our projects. I won't go into the installation part since installing applications has never been a issue in Windows. To see how to install MYSQL in LINUX (UBUNTU) please refer to former post.

1) Basic Step
    The most basic step is installation. You can download Netbeans From Here


2) For MySQL you need to download three files.
     The Links are given below with the name of the requisite files.
      a) MySQL Community Server from here
        b) MY SQL GUI TOOLS from here


(NOTE: There is a newer version of GUI tool known as MYSQL WORKBENCH, Don't use it as of now ,a s it's quite complex. Stick with the Tools I have given in the link.)
        c) MY SQL JAVA CONNECTOR from here




Now the first file is the server MYSQL SERVER 2nd file is the set of GUI tools which helps us in database related operations. and the 3rd file the java connector.. I will tell about the 3rd file later here.

3) When installing MYSQL Server it will ask you to give it a username or password. Give Something like "admin" or "root"(without quotes) in username and password whatever you like.After installing the server install the second GUI  installation file. 

4) If you might have trifled around.On unzipping the third file you get a jar file.I will be coming to the third file soon till now just extract the zip file and keep the jar file somewhere.

5)Since you are keen on reading this article I assume you know how to work with Java and databases. For connecting to MYSQL DATABASE.

you should write the following code to your program where you specify how to connect to database

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test","root","erwsd");

here in the second line 3306 is the port that your mysql server is using in my case it was 3306.(to check out your port open MYSQL Administrator you will see the port for your connection) ,test was the database i was using. root is the username for mysql server in my case it was root  (remember you specified it during installation of the server)  and erwsd is the password in my case.




6) After Finally making tables and databases and writing your codes to connect the database. There is one final step left.


Open Netbeans in your project tree goto libraries and search for the jar file you extracted a little while ago and add it.

VOILA considering all the codes are right and no syntax and clumsy mistakes in place you my friend are ready to use two most open source powerful technologies together. Do let me know if it helped. And if it did'nt  comments are most welcome. :) CYAO!

My first Techie Blog ON MYSQL IN UBUNTU OR KUBUNTU!!

I have been learning Java for about 2 months getting acquainted in various technologies like Servlets , JSPs, HTML etc... I was looking for a IDE to work in and found NETBEANS.. awesome, today I somehow even started up MYSQL! in KUBUNTU! how so ever I still could'nt find anything similar to a Dreamweaver to create HTML pages in Linux... that has left me sulking...and m well aware Linux is not the IN THING with lot of people today.. I will be adding some snapshots at the end..now Installing MySQL had been a piece of cake in Windows.. In Linux I had to research a bit to find it, but found it has become very easy indeed nowdays...

I don't know about other Distributions m using a Ubuntu Linux so m gonna brief using it as a medium

So first of all you need to install a server

type this in a terminal ( in GNOME its Terminal and in KDE its' Konsole similar to a command prompt in Windows but yet much powerful)

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

it will install the mysql server , during installation it will ask for password for the root user, type in 1234 or anything you may like

Now since we all have become so much accustomed to using Gui's for almost anything we definitely would'nt want to type every time some commands in terminal to work with it.. besides it's time consuming too..

so now we'll install the GUI for MYSQL feeling Happy??

so what we need to do is type in the command

sudo apt-get install mysql-gui-tools-common

this will install (MySQL Admin+MySQL Query Browser+MySQL Migration Toolkit)

now to start the MYSQL go to MYSQL Query Browser from your menu

on clicking it will give the following window.

type in root in the user field and the password (Whatever you gave during Server Installation...)

and voila it connects happy SQLING in LINUX!!!

I am searching how to connect MYSQL with java programs in netbeans.. as soon as I know that I will post it..

Thanks for stopping by... Do leave a comment if it helped CYAO!!!:)

Time for a Change

Now Starting with , Change.... well the winds of change have certainly come... starting with the year, then recently I mean yesterday a new world record was made for double century by the master blaster Sachin.. I don't need to elaborate on that one,, Tiger Woods getting in a hell lot of controversies, and much more.. I don't want to talk about  them all due to time and space and crap!
Now at my personal level I had been using Gnome environment of Linux for well , The first time I first first fell in love with the LINUX OS! after 3 yrs into Linux. I somehow got bored of the same ol gnome, the static Gui did not appeal much to me.. besides we are living in a Win7 or a Mac generation with cool looks and awesome looking GUIs(Graphical User Interface) so me as usual finally gave up on making gnome beautiful any more, switched over to a already beautiful KDE environment  though it was'nt as easy as a synaptic or finding things I wanted through menus I finally seem to get hold of it after using it for a week now after a few tweaks..

Leaving all that apart.. Lets come to something more useful, if you are not a techie you will not like this next  post of mine! see ya there!

New Year, New Things Starting January!

Okay , I know its been quite some time since 1st of Jan flew by. The reason I am discussing it right now is what this new year 2010 has brought in with it? Starting with

1) Violent protests for and against formation of  Telangana,

2) previous report on glacial meltdown found wrong by 300 yrs???,

3) LONGEST SOLAR ECLIPSE!!!,

4) New rule in Maharashtra for driving a cab ("Go learn marathi you idiot you cant understand the meter in the car its written in marathi or worse someone from the MNS or SS is sitting as your customer.") Whatever is worse well.... will be worse anyhow. Now the latest news in the frying pan.. yup ready to serve

5) "NORTH INDIA FACES ACUTE SHORTAGE OF MILK AND PRICES WILL BE INCREASED SUGAR PRICES TO GO DOWN"...  as if North Indians were not facing enough problems (including cold weather :P) good going MR.PAWAR you are really a great minister.. one thing goes down you bring other up..

These were the latest upcomings till now, my dear friend if you were reading really closely and if you think a little which is the most weirdest news of em all???

1) Protests for and against formation of Telangana-  Well nothing weird here , one man fasts for creating Telangana, Government gives in (like the weak one it is) announces its creation. Some Central Government members not happy they go on their own fasts to prevent the Formation , Formation plan kept on hold like all major Government projects. Hopefully this one should never see the day!

2) Now the other news, projected date of glacier meltdown and hence wipe out of Land life by 2035 found wrong in the report. Exact dates as claimed is 2350. What man you wanted to kill us so early dude? As if 2012 phobia isn't enough. If we somehow come over 2012 we could live a little more I guess now!:P

3) Longest Solar Eclipse saw Indian news channels with many pundits giving out lessons on what to do and what not to do.. while most of the regions in India could'nt witness this spectacle thansk to fogs and clouds!

4) New Cabbie rule was as absurd as it's idea. Thank God it was taken back. And I really don't want to talk about the rest makes my blood boil!

5) Now this is the news I wanna talk about! The weirdest of em all types NORTH INDIA FACES ACUTE SHORTAGE OF MILK AND PRICES WILL BE INCREASED SUGAR PRICES TO GO DOWN.

Another Mr.Pawar tactic, announces shortage before hand and mind it there is'nt ,and traders increase their rate before hand and poor aam janta :( cries making their monthly ration bills. And we know why you do it " ye public hai, sab jaanti hai boss" Problem ye hai ki itni POWER nai hai ki PAWAR ji ki warning ka kuch kar paaye! :P

This news was found weird ,why? Starting with, how can milk supply be short? like are cows or buffaloes goin on a strike? your daily doodh wale bhaiya isn't bring milk to your home? has Amul Shutdown? and why is Northern India facing this problem? is it cold? Has milk converted into Paneer?any answers? I guess not! Now what can I say! you decide! I rest my case.


I would like to narrate a little incident that happened today in our kindergarten school, all the little kids were asked "Which milk do they drink?", "some answer, Cows, some buffaloes, some packets,

Then there was this little kid he said "Cycle wala dhoodh" What??? the kid shyly explains the milk to our home is given by a bhaiya on a cycle...



ahem...ahem....

well leaving that apart I am not interested in torturing you all any further now..
Well this will be it for today Good Night !!! zzzz zzzzz zzzzz

Whew! That was a Hard 1!!

Now that I have started on ! Let's not stop shall we?

I had completed my Engg. Studies back in June 2009 , and well we all had our share of nostalgic moments, promises with everyone to always be in contact, etc etc.. but one thing I realized.. 90 percent of times. people will be in contact for a short time till that nostalgia remains after that.. its as simple as "Out of Sight Out Of Mind"

But the stalker that I am, I wont easily let anyone forget me.. ! :P

Other thing I realized.. was life is real hell when you don't have anythin to do... All my life as far as I can remember, it was School, then College and now sitting idle for approx a yr..?? well after college starting few days or say a few months were great completed all the games that my console could offer! Orkutted! now facebooking and what else.. now sitting here and viewing everything back... well The sights are a pleasure.. the good days gone.. after a few months it will be cat and dog race when I Finally join my Company. Got a few months of enjoyment and time to spend with my family.. this time will not come back.. and thinking about it makes my heart sulk.

But that's how life is .. Gotta move on.. It's now all of a practical learning curve and all the theories we learnt in our school days ,in college. Will be the very base of how we lead our life..

And I for now consider myself lucky I exposed myself to all good things in life.. and made some very good friends I'll Cherish for a long time.. I wont be writing this sort of blog from now on.. But this definitely made me Light !!! phew! that's a load off..

Thanks for reading and well here's a one liner..

ENJOY!:)

and with this blog today I'll officially post this as my official blog.
