Partition

Find partition of a set of size k ( rephrasing the problem :) )

blackbox ( given set, and a set of subsets ) -> gives back a partition if one
exists ( or null )

So your_function(given set, set of subsets , k )

generate all possible subsets of size k.. from ur set of subsets..
Eg: set has N elements, no: of subsets = M ,
generate C(M,K) sets of subsets, give this to the blackbox algorithm.
The 1st non-null value is your partition

???

i didnt get what you said.

The most important thing is the WAY you traverse
the backup_vector.

You have to traverse it column-wise.
If that is expensive i think we have to use some other method...

But a real tuff one.

clarification

I had tried the same approach, and it fails because your backup_vector might end up containing a lot of subsets, and replacing the blackbox parameters with a few of these sets from the backup_vector might degenerate into a combinatorial search problem; which is prohibitively expensive.

Teju's posting

Okay, i will also try :-)))
But i have not algorithmised the whole thing.

The signature of the BlackBox Algorithm is this,

subet_list BlackBox (SuperSet S, subset_list M)
So, the algo returns a subset_list such that the return value
satisfies the constraint mentioned.

Now, let us take an example.

Suppose the SuperSet S is as follows:-

S={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

and M contains subsets...


{1,2,3,4,5} {6,7,8,9} ---->(1)
{1,2,3} {4,5} {6,7} {8,9} ---->(2)
{1,2} {3,4,5} {6,7,8} {9} ----->(3)
{1,2,3,4,5} {6} {7,8,9} ------>(4)


There are other subsets too in M.
However, as far as BlackBox algorithm is concerned
we will concentrate on these subsets.

So the blackbox algorithm is however always returning
the subset_list labelled (1) in the code when ALL these
subsets are there.

So the trick is this...

Let k = 3.
Then we want the answer (4) to be displayed.



1. call BlackBox(S,M).If the algorithm returns NULL, then goto
step 6.

2. You get a subset_string M1 //in our case we got (1)

3. Check the number of sets in M1.If it is "k" then stop
and return success.

4. Otherwise store M1 in a backup vector backup_vector
This is a vector of subset_string

5. Goto step1.

6. The Blackbox algorithm returned NULL.
This may have two implications :-
6a) There is no subset_string with k-elements satisfying the constraint.
6b) There is a subset_string with k-elements however, it contains one or
more subsets which we subtracted during the looping process.
This implication is reached for the scenario , i have mentioned.
Wherein, the subset {1,2,3,4,5} got subtracted initially, but actually
it is neededfor k=3 scenario.

7. Traverse through the backup_vector and keep on adding it to
M and call the Blackbox algorithm.
The details of the traversal has to be explained using pen and paper
and i cant put it here :-)









ignore the prev posting

i got the question wrong...i was trying to design the black box algo...instead of using it...che..

sari yochise correct ans koduve

not very efficient

but will work very well for k=1 and 2..may be this can be improved..
the idea is to sort the subsets based on their size..use hashing..and resolve collision by using link list..
now instead of storing the actual sets..store the sum of its elements..now the prob reduces to finding k sums(sets) such that their sum is equal
to the sum of universal set..
ex:

Say the main set is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} and the 9 subsets given are
{1, 2, 3}{4, 5, 6}{7, 8, 9}
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5} {6, 7, 8, 9}
{1, 2, 3, 4}{5, 6, 7} {8}{9}

now grouping them based on their size
0 -> NULL -> 0
1 -> {8} {9} -> 8, 9
2 -> NULL -> 0
3 -> {1,2,3} {4,5,6} {7,8,9} {5,6,7} -> 6 , 15, 24, 18
4 -> {1,2,3,4} {6,7,8,9} -> 10, 30
5 -> {1,2,3,4,5} -> 15

the sum of the universal set is 45

now if k = 2, u take two indicies(i and j) , one for each end..now chk for the sum of their sizes..this should be equal to size of the universal set..
if not change one index as reqd..this chk is nothing but chking i+j = |universal set|. After u have found correct values for i and j search for
values within those lists such that the sum of these values = sum of universal set.

in our example
i = 0 , j= 5
i+j=5 < 9 (size of univ set)
so make i = 4
now chk for values within these two lists
15 + 10 = 25 != 45
chk for next comb
15 + 30 = 45
bingo....

if u store the values in the list in sorted order then u can apply the same logic of finding the indices to these lists as well...

this method of grouping subsets and then representing them by their sums will help cos of reduced num of comparisons...

now the main prob is to find out mCk combinations and exclude all combinations for which the sum of the selected k values != | univ set|
i leave this to the reader as exercise ;)



set theoretic question

A main set S and a good number of its subsets A1, A2......Am (m subsets) are given (the total number of subsets is exponential; not all of them are given, but a lot of them (m) are given).

There exists a blackbox algorithm that can take the main set S and the given 'm' subsets and return one combination of disjoint subsets (all pair-wise intersections are null), and whose union gives the main set S.

Say the main set is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} and the 9 subsets given are
{1, 2, 3}{4, 5, 6}{7, 8, 9}
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5} {6, 7, 8, 9}
{1, 2, 3, 4}{5, 6, 7} {8}{9}

Now we see that the black-box algorithm could return the first row of subsets ({1, 2, 3}{4, 5, 6}{7, 8, 9}) as the answer, the second row as the answer, or the third row as the answer. This is because all these three solutions satisfy the constraint: The returned answer should contain a combination so that they are pairwise disjoint and whose union gives the main set S.

Now, the problem is to somehow use this blackbox algorithm to return the combination of size K. From the above example, if K = 3, the first row should be returned, if K = 4, the last row should be returned.

So, the input to the problem is a set S, a few of its subsets, and a constant K. The output should be K of these subsets so that they are all mutually disjoint and whose union gives S. This problem can use the blackbox algorithm that gives any such solution (the black box doesnt have a clue of K). No combinatorial exhaustive searches allowed.

From my algorithms and complexity course.

ideasss

since u hate make ..
y dont go for a tejumake ??
oops sorry .its sude who hates make ..

make ur linux sheel more easy..

ideas...

mama..i have none..but i can suggest some methods to get ideas...
look at the tools that you use..did u find something lacking in a tool??
or some better way to do the samething..or u wish u had a tool to do
something(like configuring sendmail..hmmm)...make a list of such things..if u find anything worth putting effort..maadu..
if u r running out of time..and u are not able to get anything "cool"..u can always reimplement something and add your own feature..for this u can look at sourceforge or some such place..

My two cents

IMHO, Online mall hosting platform and Orkut like engine are my choices
among your ideas.....

Why ? Because, I have the least idea about :-
=============================================
1)Real-world-event scheduler
2)Flat file join tool in perl (Richie, dont laugh)
3)Web crawler, scraper etc
4)Apache log analyzer.

And Blog Platform is about updating some file and later publishing as HTML.
The file format might be creepy.Here you may have sophisticated
parsing routines to check whether the user has entered a proper
html document or screwed up some tag in the middle etc..those kinda things...
(I am curious about how you will register
domain names....for eg. how will you register .blogspot.com as a site inside
your main site.)

But consider Online Mall Hosting Platform & Orkut like engine.
================================================================
->U can use apache for web server

->U can use xml and give an RSS/Atom link for mall hosting platform
to post "WHAT's NEW?" products.
(Btw, the link for this site's feed is
http://alpha-q.blogspot.com/atom.xml)

->U can change the requirement-specs 200000 times and use all the other
technologies you have mentioned....
But the challenge is to use filesystem at the back rather than Oracle or
SQL server..Thats when you gotta sit in front of your comp,
until your @SS becomes numb.

chow..
will try to get some ideas .....(if an idea flashes,that is)

Cliches...

We have to live and die on cliches



That was your say sometime ago.

Tuesday, September 21, 2004

at the end of the day....

Sudeep resorts to cliches....

I need some help. I have this good-for-nothing software lab that is supposed to help us master the tricks of the trade. So far, I have mastered apache, linux shells, perl, make, php, latex, lex/yacc and xml. And now, to top it all, I need to implement something cooL (read project) in 4-6 weeeks with a partner.

Now, I am looking to maxmize grades, make no mistake. It would be a good icing on the cake if I could do something that would add some value to my resume. Even better, if it would really improve my technical skills to some extent.

I have come up with the following ideas....

- Blog platform
- Orkut like engine
- Real-world-event scheduler
- Flat file join tool in perl (Richie, dont laugh)
- Web crawler, scraper etc
- Online mall hosting platform.
- Apache log analyzer.

And thats the end of my ideas......people, please come up with a few ideas of your own and post it here, just post any idea.....my TAs will get to decide if we can work on it or not....and the more ideas I come up with, the better are my chances of doing something that I like.....and I hate architecture/engineering kinda stuff, but I guess, I will have to go with all of it to get this one done....

Hurry!!!

At the end of the day,

if you have a model like this, I think everybody here will become photographers.

Then, the human race will have two genders

1)females
2)photographers(previously called "males").

WOW

Not hobby

:-)

I dont have a camera at home...even dad doesnt ....
So i thot of buying one.
Ofcourse not professional photography....
Just snap everywhere...ashte

photography junkie

why? why? why? why is photography becoming the security blanket.

I already know around 10 of my friends who have either purchased good digital cameras, or SLRs, or in one case, a digital SLR. And everyone is busy getting some photography going. And do you know what else is common between all of them? They are all bored software engineers. And they are all shooting away pictures.

If you want to get into art, get into writing, or reading, or theatre, or music, or anything else, why turn into an expensive hobby like photography.....maybe every YASE has a lot of money to spend. If you don't know what a YASE is, you aren't yet another software engineer.

Click away my friends......have fun.......and if possible, get into fashion photography. At least that way, you know.....

Major photography freak

one of the inspirations to get a cam.

http://kalyanvarma.net/photography/travel/sangam/

Cameras

Actually I am planning to buy a digital camera so as to
populate this blog with some real pictures.
And also record the precious moments that happen everyday.

I dont intend to become a professional photographer,
but just snap away anything and everything to glory.

After all, a picture is worth 128K words(1 word = 2 bytes?).

So I just found out a very good site called dpreview.com.
Since I am an illiterate as far as digital cameras are
concerned, experienced photographers say that Canon and Nikon
are the good cameras.

Found out the difference between Optical zoom and digital zoom.
Digital zoom is just replication of pixels whereas in optical
zoom, where are talking about the focal length of the camera lens.

One of the digi cams affordable(entry level) is Canon A80 it seems.
And the cost is around 25K.I need to check up on this.

Anybody here know any shops where we can buy original digi cams?

GDs lazing too

with movies, bought a cycle for myslef .. gymming a bit ..
hogging a lot of chalupas and veggie burgers .. its been a while I am out of chicken .. ( salaam bombay influence ) .. need to eat less and less .. but how no idea .. got kodbale and chakkli from India ..so thats on the food front
on the work front not much .. on the fun front not much either ..
general TP ..

okies a word of advice for JAG ..if you are looking out for a PHD post PHD etc.. write AGRE ..
if MS and work and later to PHd ..save your efforts ..

Theres a lot of difference on what you do and what you study, here too ..
U slog a lot during MS and u land in a crappy job...

okay saku kacchiddu ..

Okay next year CAT clear madle beku ..
I want to do consultancy ..give big ideas .. and I want to stay in Blore ..
blore rocks ppl .. do not make a mistake of leaving Blore ..will be there in Jan . ( thats what I want ) ..

anyways....

Ganapathi festival in Mumbai is a phenomenon, I visited a few of the low-profile ones in a very low-profile area here, and they were absolutely mindblowing......huge, I mean, really huge, and done with so much care and finesse, and grandeur, that one has to see it to believe why Mumbai stands still on Ganesha day.

Academically, things are screwed up as usual. More quizzes, project proposals coming up, and I have become lazier than I ever was in my life, and now defaulting on default stuff as well......which should never happen......

was Utsav that good? I had some good food at my cousin's place yesterday, and filter coffee, mmmmmm, filter coffee is THE coffee......

On saturday, had been over to one of the page 3 sorts lounge bars in Lower Parel. It was absolutely page-3....very similar to what Paaps watches on FTV..... and most of the women I saw going in to the bar (did I forget to tell you folks that we weren't allowed inside cuz we were.....er.....stags, with horns) could've fit into any of the FTV "parties".

Had some great local "golas", chaat, the usual Bombay stuff and got back by foot-board full-rush local train at half past midnight.......Mumbai never sleeps......

sendmail

configuring sendmail..i dont understand why do ppl make everything soooooooo complicated...
i mean to configure sendmail u have to change some m4 macros...and run make on that..come on man..i dont ask for an ui but atleast gimme a file with var=val kind of conf.. i will be happy...have been breaking my head over this stupid thing since morning..finally i have managed to send mails with in that sys(localhost)..guess i will call the sysadmin to do the rest...

actually..i am getting an idea..how abt writing a tool to do this configuration...richie why dont u try this..if interested, that is..

souper sud

yesterday was fun... sud was in awesome form with his pjs, theories ,
and kumar with his trip to Nandi betta... and my usual algos..
the dude was disappointed coz i hadn't brought the pr0n cd that he wanted..
Prep for agre is going on & on.. Planning to take a few weeks off just before the
exams.. I have been reading comp arch. from Morris Mano, it's very good..
what's up with zeeds? when are u making a trip to blore.. ?
eg : of sud's pj.. the waiter drops something in utsav, and the geek asks 'server crashed? '

yesterday

The LUNCH at jayanagr was Gooooooooooooooood
ANd we had some good puzzles and algos by jag while the food arrived.

Lemme remember the menu AND FORGET the algos:-)
===============================================
Sweet Corn Soup => 3
Mushroom soup => 1 (Richie was the souper boy yesterday drinking two soups)
DELICIOUS gobi => 1 big plate
Shanghai Vegetables => 1 big plate

AND

Green Peas Pulao
Biriyani with Raita.

Mmmm.Nice.
Later me and Kummi rode on a flat tyre while we discussed abt
life and pondered about our futures ...and some other things
about Kummi too...What say S.Kumar ? ( S as in S-therko)

Okay not-so-busy day....
Very hazy goal and feelin' very lazy too...

libgmail

Hey I just came to know that gmail can be mounted as a filesystem and it uses
GMAIL Filesystem and libgmail, a python library for gmail.

Check out these websites :-

1) http://libgmail.sourceforge.net/
2) http://richard.jones.name/google-hacks/gmail-filesystem/gmail-filesystem.html

However mkdir doesnt work.
More on this...I am trying to do this on my computer and I'll tell
you if something blows up

Although,

there is a lot more credibility in not licking ass,
it is very difficult being idealistic always...We are human.
Thats why another euphemism to ass licking can be "respecting age/experience"

The best thing we can do is being HONEST with our work...
I am honestly getting lazier....and I dunno y :-(

Coz in the end of the day proving ourself to somebody ( by somebody i mean the society)
cannot happen in a day.....It takes a whole lotta time maybe decades..Thats the truth....

Achievements, usually(=99% of the time) dont happen overnite...
The other 1% is a mixture of genius + luck (right thing at the right time)

In an organization, people respect whizkids only
after the whizkid's invention has brought royalty and money...
Once royalty happens , then it is cool.....
The whizkid can bring his creativity into light....
Unleash it etc...But we gotta keep trying.


But in research....the spirit of research is curiousity and to-know...

Just see a non descript email which was written by the
creator of linux(linus) in Usenet in 1991...
========================================================================================
Hello everybody out there using minix -

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
(same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
among other things).

I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.
This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and
I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)

Linus (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi)

PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.

dignity

self respect, swaabhimana, chala, ego.....ivella yelli?? where did they all disappear? I agree on correct mails, politically correct that is, and mis-communication, communication etc....but lick-ass ???

you gotta kick-ass maga......don't you feel that the whole communication based management theories that people with a little bit of power shell out to folks under them is all based on lack of talentz....or maybe lack of great talentz......to be precise.......or maybe money, I am not sure.....

would anyone question Richie? (DMR, I mean, not Jag :)) .... maybe if he said "screw yourself" to some head honcho in some Fortune 10 company, it might matter......but would they get offended about his using pronouns? or would they rather look for some meaning in what he is trying to say before branding him "lacks communication skills".......

point is....its all about talentz.....and skillz....and about developing yourself so that what you can do, not many can do.......if there are many who can do what I can......what good am I???...... I would have to resort to communication skills to stay afloat......

have probablity and statistics mid-sem exams in 30 minutes.....have to do some last minute random preperations......if what I prepare now comes by chance...... :))))

write mails which are so stupid .. there shud be no room for deduction or inference ..

GD - mails xxx abt a program
xxx replies GD abt the same program
GD again replies to xxx..
this time istead of saying out the program name i use 'this program' ..

and ............... tan..ta...dan ..

it becomes a 'mis-communication from onsite' , which results in 'effort loss' and will 'impacts deadlines' which inturns results in 'losing customer credibility' and now we have to 'work hard' to make it up.. probalby i wud hve 'written communication skills' as my next training ..:))

First things first....
The intelligent guy should forget that he is intelligent.
He should accept treatment and he should give up
okay, so he will try to cure me attitude and follow mutely what the psychologist does.

Kummi :- See Good Will Hunting.

ciaowww

not in

anyways there is nothing i can do abt it..so will try to forget that..
was thinking abt this hypothitical situation a counsellor/psychiatrist may face..consider this..u are a counsellor.. an "intelligent" person approaches u with some prob...he has come on his own.. meaning he knows he has a prob..let us say some mental block abt something..now u have to help him come out of this..the prob here is that he knows he has a prob...and he also knows that u r going to convince him..so he will not get convinced..and he is going to feel that what ever you say is just to convince him and it is not real..which may worsen his cond..now how will u handle this??

Pulp Fiction

is very stylised movie...

I loved it because I watched it with sub-titles.
Yeah the songs and the background music also are
very circumstantial.

The movie makes sense if you see the whole movie.
The best part is trying to get the events chronologically.

I basically loved the hillarious dialogues after
watching three times....

But Teju is having a great time !
wow mannn! amazing....

I think I am gonna bring a CD burner to Bombay when I come there...
I plan to go to Mumbai in December vacation

More on this later....

By the way,

Where is kummi and richie_jag


We will meet this weekend betans what say ?

Kutchax mooood

I just now lost the purpose of what I am gonna do today.
SO i have decided I have to get the purpose back
and start working.But it is not gonna be easy.
It is a long day and If you donno what next....well gaawd help ya.

It is 10:45 and it is really boring
after a heavy coding workout yesterday at the office.

So i was just trying to amuse myself with some new downloads
I can get over the net.Firefox the newer version is released
along with thunderbird and all the nerdy people are very excited.
They have a reason 2 B excited.Let me tell you IE is nowhere
near Firefox the newer version.And "sage" (http://mozdev.org/sage) the
RSS reader rocks! Never knew RSS was so cooL.Especially for
sites that try to give news like rediff and indiatimes.
Seriously guys, try it out...My personal recommendation.
RSS is just too much...Just text and nothing else...Real quick browsing.

Firefox is slim and fast and a no nonsense browser and it is free.

And the chaps who wrote have kept the source code with almost
all the documentation.So I am happy that because HUMANITY is improving.
Everything is gonna be FRREEEEE.

You have the freedom to speech,freedom to see the code ,
freedom to make changes to the code ,
freedom to f*rt loudly during a conference call ,
freedom to listen and download music , freedom to eat apples,
and freedom to peep anything from anywhere and so on.

I am thinking of starting an organisation like GNU which aims on
given FREE DOWNLOADABLE, LEGAL music to people.Especially upcoming
bands will love it.Just give 1 or 2 free songs on the net from an
album.And Mind you by free i mean Free as in freedom not free as in free beer.

I am a little confused over here about freedom but I think as
human generations improve we will not become scientfic,
we will become spiritual!

God is the guide to madness and your rotten brain and
your putrid thoughts and everything else.

Yawwn bye guys miss you all...
I saw taxi driver the movie...It is very artsy....
But direction is spectacular and the plot is convoluted.

Other than that , nothing else...

kill bill

Saw volume 1 and 2 back to back and you ain't kidding baby, that movie and I had unfinished business alright. Tarantino makes movies for those who have watched tens of thousands of movies - or so someone said. I agree paaps....my first QT movie confirms that memorable quote of yours.....

Next on my list.....already on my hard-disk....

- One flew over the cuckoo's nest
- Pulp Fiction
- Seven Samurai
- Dead Man Walking
- Rear Window
- North by Nothwest

can't find Usual Suspects, Amelie and Leon here on the network....very surprising....Btw, I am done with

- Indiana Jones trilogy
- Kill Bill Volumes

and quite a few more.....

Moviefest continues at IIT bombay.......and mid-sem exams are going on in-between.....and coming to that, got screwed in Algorithms, and will surely get screwed in probability.....am not working on any of my seminar or other stuff......haven't paid my mess bill.....have two library books with me that are already a week overdue.....haven't submitted my bank details to the TA office.....have no clean clothes to wear.....

on the good side, I have been going to Hiranandani every day for the last three days....bought Lolita.....havent eaten in the mess for the last 3 days......feeling totally good about myself.....whistling the Indiana Jones theme......a la Akshai RS.

This guy is cool but sometimes he causes accidents.
I heard that in some TV show he was performing a trick,
and there was some accident on the stage and his trousers
caught fire ....So he carries a scar on his bum.
This is unconfirmed...I forgot some O'Connor's TV Show
It comes on AXN ....

If I were there , I wud have asked him that....but then
you never know....kantri nan maga ...dangerous

So next time when he calls you on the stage,
BE CAREFUL!!! :-)))

Cowboys

From now on , I have decided I will have the cowboy attitiude

Eastwood
I am an @$$

I just realized that it is simply irresistable for members of opp. sex!
You will have women lining up naked in front of your cubicle naked,
with a rose between their teeth.

So what exactly is the cowboy attitude?Let's look into that.

1) EGO.Impenetrable ego.Ego generally means "dont talk".
Give up your "sense of humor" attitude.
Let's leave humor to Dingri Nagaraj and Tennis Krishna.

2) Inexhaustible cigars.

3) Laconic.If somebody asks you anything irrelevant,
blow his nuts off with your AK47.If he asks something
relevant just say "yep" or "nope".

4) Entry into the office.This is very important.How you enter
into the office should be like HAYWARDS 5000 ad.Everybody knows
that the cowboy is here but nobody says "hello! good morning!".
If you say that the style screws up.
You should shoot darts into the concentric circles of
bulls-eye EXACTLY into the center.Everybody will be surprised.
Even OLYMPIC silver medalist Major.i_dunno_his_name should be surprised.

5) When you talk women should gasp.AUDIBLE 100dB gasps.
Just like a post-orgasm gasp.

6) Then do something unpredictable.Start dancing like Prabhudeva in Kaadalan or
just keep shooting all the inferiors on this planet.

But first things first. GROW a BEARD.
Ban gillete and after shave lotion.Infact you can put aftershave lotion on your beard.
Ofcourse after you drink curds or energy drinks like Maltova the milk sticks on the beard,
but then who cares...WIPE IT OFF!

Most of the famous men are bearded....

Remember :- Jesus , Aurobindo, Richard Stallman , Lincoln , Guru Nanak,
Sri Sri Ravishankar , Stanley Kubrick , Steven Spielberg , James Cameron ,
Osama , Tagore , Raghavendra Swamiji , Da Vinci , The caveman who invented the wheel....

I am grwoing a beard.

make what?

How can make be difficult... or irritating......with its quirky tab rules, with its really really almost cryptically short syntax, with its awesome error messages, its the best thing to use in this world.....and somewhere, people keep claiming that it makes your life easy.......what say you Papanna? are you doing good with make?

Btw, its not that hard to work with make, you just need to get used to it....as with everything else in the UNIX world....can you guys believe that I have been working on a LINUX desktop for more than a month now, and I dont loathe it as much as I used to at Yahoo!.

Speaking of Yahoo!, S & S are getting married this Sunday, in Ganjam Mantapa of all the places.....Am feeling quite sad and nostalgic about it all......Of all the people, I got to know both of them, worked at Yahoo!, got deeply deeply involved with you-know-who etc etc.....feelings galore.......anyways, samsara andmele....ond nenapu baratte, ond nenapu hogatte....... It seems incredibly strange that lives have indeed changed, of all of us.......since dec-2001....and we all have grown a little more, explored a little more and done a little more in life......for better or for worse.....it feels good......it feels bad....... I wonder what might have happened if things hadn't changed so drastically back then.....

make

OSAMA

Monkeys are funny because they are not humans.
If they were humans, then they would not be so
funny because humans write GNUMakefiles.
I have become NUMB because of this makefile.....
I hate makefiles...and I am in NO MOOD
to repair this dumb shitty error
makefiles are a BLOODY @$#@%^#%^@76@$%^$%^@$#%^4%^

I get some senseless error messages ugh!

Rejecting impossible implicit prerequisite `../../../build/share/makefiles/kvm/VM.gmk.s'.

The very word Reject has sent me into feelings........
I hate the word reject....But somehow it always follows me....
Girls rejecting,applications getting rejected...

Check this one out.....I had a good laugh.....
BUT DONT OPEN IN OFFICE WHEN EVERY1 IS AROUND.....

Looks like

it is countable , however not countably infinite.

Because if x is the cardinality of a countably infinte set,
methinks that x^2 is the cardinality of richie's set.
However as x->INFINITY we say that x =x^2 then we have
that richie's set is countably infinite.

PS :- I was totally "d-uh???" abt countably infinite sets.
I googled up the defn. of countably infinite and I am
barking based on this site.....

http://www.mathwords.com/c/countably_infinite.htm
bye guys....
Lotta wrk 2B done.

liu rules

took a sample agre paper, got about 40 out of 80 questions rt..
will take teju's advise , and read up a bit more on graphs/trees...
try this question out : set of pairs of natural no: countably infinite or uncountably
infinite.
puliyogare is good for health '.'
zeeds.. got the same admonishment, that my people skills aren't good :(
nija bere.. so eega back to bhagavatham, vedanta, mathematical essays, liu..

Gr8!

Kurt Cobain T-Shirt rocks mannn...
still trying to find out where the hell in
bangalore it is available....

Anyway had a laidback weekend(sunday).
It's raining like hell in bangalore.
The roads have been exposed and all the sharp stones
which are the "skeleton" of bangalore roads are back on the surface again.
They can puncture any CEAT's STEEL RADIAL or even steel tyres.
Nobody wants to drive a car with 4 flat tyres.
So all our great drivers are "extra" careful....
The best part abt our drivers is that every1 (including myself)
thinks that he is the best driver.EVERYONE IS ABOVE AVERAGE DRIVER.
You can ask anybody...he'll tell that he is a good driver.
Even the guy who is learning with a big L-Board on his car is
convinced BEYOND DOUBT that he is a SUPERIOR driver.
Forget the godammn drivers....They'll drive me crazy.

As usual, I was contemplating abt life and future.
But then I saw a movie which maybe every1 has
seen before....."MunnaBhai MBBS".
Want to write a review on it ....
However I have to write a godammn GNUMakefile and all that.
I am really bad in writing makefiles.

Other than that life is full of lousy weekends...and good work.
Bye guys....lotta work 2B done :-(

T-Shirt

Got the Kurt Cobain face t-shirt Papanna, remember the days when you were looking for this one in National Market....well, if not anything else, it gets people to stare at me.....and wonder who the guy on/in the t-shirt is...

bowled some ten-pin, got a few bedsheets, bunked probability, submitted a gnu-make assignment, finally have made NP-completeness official reading material (hehe, Richie and Kummi, lopers)........watched finding nemo, philadelphia, bowling for columbine, forrest gump, a few more misc. episodes of FRIENDS, have started cracking really poor PJs here, have let down the GD-Teju diet..... (and you, lkb? you still going low-carbo?).......

aste.....things are going on......mid-sem exams next week.....

Paapanna, I am sure Richie will also tell you; I can vouch for it, think a couple of hundred times about it.........puliyogare is not that good for health......you don't see the Richie connection??? :-)))

lkb GD.....yenla, communication skills unkodide.... yen kathe? you are developing all the right managerial skills......good for you.......next one should be: how to comb your hair into two points....... :-))).....saili bidu moms......dont let small things make you go into introspective moods......aint worth it......ask Sudeep, he knows (about) this theory......

BACK FROM MADURAI

I am back from madurai after attending a wedding !

2 days of banyan-leaf lunch has brought more VIVE and
interest in my food habits....

Superior food and great appetite....Aha! Relished everything.
I surprised myself and ate like a mad STRAY DOG

It was an Iyengar's wedding.....
The female population of the puliyogare clan amazed me.
They were really good.
They had this "dont mess with me" tag :-(
Actually I wanted to mess with them but..........sumne yaake?

Due to my super-duper footwear (aloha hawai chappals),I preferred to observe...
They have a "swing" custom.
WHA?
SWINGING SIXTIES
I observed that the guy and the gal are seated on a swing and
they start oscillating while the maamis sing songs.
Also the angle of the swing theta ,is directly proportional to
the guy's/gal's enthu and inversely proportional to
the feeling "Please lemme get off this swing...what i am doing swinging here"

Finally I drunk CHILLED BADAM MILK after a long time and gave my
blessings and came home today morn (saturday morn)....

We have the ...

concept of THREAD SCHEDULING much before Sun Solaris or any
other godammn POSIX thread based Operating System.

Thread Scheduling can be found in the Vedas
and it is called as Upakarma.

You have to deallocate old thread and allocate a new thread.
Thread scheduling on a yearly basis.

I just took deallocated my old thread and did a
pthread_create two days ago.

Result :- I am having a new thread and pretty amused abt it.
Hope I wont lose it like the previous one :-(

Current mood :-

everything is a copy of a copy of a copy....

tried sleeping at 4.....couldn't sleep till 6.....and its 7 already........and everything is a copy of a copy of a copy......

and so goes life...... miss you all folks.......

it sometimes amazes me how one's mood influences one's degree of happiness, and how one slips in and out of different moods.......for no tangible reason.......anyways, I think I have a mild fever right now.......and a bad cold for sure......will try to sleep it off, and maybe drown a crocin with some chlorinated water......

bartini.......will try to get some breakfast before giving sleep another shot......else I might have to spend more change on the copier.......

hyd blues 2

well swalpa family oriented .but still tp ..
heard some one saying collateral was good ..in what sense may i enquire..
apart from girls who r crazy abt tom cruise ..havent seen any other soul saying that .. bollywood cries loud ..or probably its reality in US .. still have to figure out ..

hit man cruise is murdering some ppl and cabbie jamie fox is taking him arnd ... the whole of LA .. even after the police come to know abt it .. they cannot find him where in LA he is ... for half the movie .. a cool 4-5 hours .. in real ..
well US police arent effective ..

and cruises stamina . wow amazing ..he can survie a bullet in his head for 15-20 mins.. he can sprint .. like maurice green .. he deserves no gold in spriting ..
thats something alva ..

in future u can c the spams . a bullet fired at mithunda ..comes out taking his tumor away ... nooo not that..
u wud c .. a bullet fired into tomcruise head doesnt find a part to affect him .. finally he dies bcos .. he decides to die ..

teju biased towards .. TOM CRUISE ...buss bidu ...u are only as short as tom cruise ..:p:p .......hey btw u trying to be like him in real life ???

illa chandrappa....

swalpa feeling ge hode....

i have given up all hopes on mobile technology....
sometimes DISCONNECTIVITY is the buzzword....
my question is ....IF the soliga mud people and other tribals
survive without mobile phones.....even we can.....

another reason is my mobile phone aggrvates depression.
because my mobile phone had become a watch...
i just used to refer time from it....

but hey, i use my computer to check the time....so redundancy....

not that i am totally against mobile phone....
but atleast for sometime....
so i have put it out of my life atleast for sometime

mgmt

coolo makkalra.. i took a day off yesterday.. to do some reading of morris mano..
then read a bit of mgmt funda.. value delivery/network yella vodide..
planning to make a trip to hyderabad this weekend.. meet some oracle friends..
usual suspects is a good movie imeo ( egostical ) .. kevin spaces rox..

yella ok.....

yen papanna, whats happening, I even tried calling your mobile in the evening and it was switched off....anything serious????......

wait wait.....the photo could be of "feeling".......and also could be of .....er.......oo, ah, ouch...... ;-)

So, I also read that you are taking the Esteem to work......and stopping on the way back home, and are reaching home late etc etc....yen kathe.....Anything warm cooking?????.....

irli, samsara andmele, solonu ididde, duettu iddidde....

As for me, I am getting royally screwed here........tons of work, 4 treads seem to be running together always here.......right now its a verifications quiz tomorrow, php assignment (http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~it619/?id=17) submission tomorrow, algorithms assignment on monday, seminar reading (5 research papers) before tuesday......and as one gets over, the next one will start..........so, am just going along........sleeping at odd hours, catching the odd movie here and there.........

btw, watch Collateral.........its a nice movie........tommy boy has acted well, and he actually plays convincing bad-guy..........its a good mix of hollywood and bollywood, this one........and please dont watch a movie called Mindhunters......never seen anything as sucky............its even got an underwater fight.....a la Top Secret (Val Kilmer spoof).......

Zeedy lkb, I did write that manually, I am not this geek who is gonna churn out computer programs to do what he can do manually...... ;).........and yeah, I desperately need an orgy.......but a single will do too.....

back to classics.. diellemmaaaaaaaa

the reason for writing it as diellemmma was to avoid showing u that i wasnt sure of the word .. too lazy to look at dictionary.com .. ohhh i need to take cat .. wait i shall look and be back ...shit where did the xtra e come from .. its dilemma ..

i tried reading a management book... hmmm all i can say is that u need lotsa concentration ..damn..tech books are in so simple words .. its really a challenge to understand what those book mean..

coming to subject ...
my sal's gonna reduce due to location transfer .. seattle to phx ..i am losing a whopping .1500$ in gross.. bo boooo boooooo..
i want to confront my PM and ask him to shove me off to offshore .. ( i know he wont agree ) ...the guilty reson for not staying here wud be .. i wud be missing those mgmt exams .. ( well my gf says .. u r smart ... we dont need no education ... lets keep that aside ..) ...

if i stay back ...i can stretch myself ill Jan end ..(miss u guys ..after that i cant miss ur company any more ..;-) ) .. learn mainframes ..be a punter in that ..
forget cat/other exams for an year.. and all the good reasons like visiting ..vegas, LA , SFO, san diego and grand canyon .. and last but not the least ..
i can collect money to buy a maruti car ..

well irli .. y am i so thoroughly confused .. uhhhhhhhh.. i suck ..
sorry if this puts papanna to thots .. i want to take a decision now here ..so that i wont think about it again ....

the most easiest.. wud be to stay bak... that wud help me not confront my bosses ..
laze around make some good trips and some good cash ...

the second option is to rebel .. am sure..i wont be sent back ..
i wud be tarnishing .. my image ..of not being a team player ..well its been time and again indicated to me i am not one .. well i will live upto my fame .. ( i myself cant believe this ..but well yes others find me sooo )
then probably come back to hyderabad for a while .. prepare and give my exams ..
clear atleat one of he IIMs or SJ Mehta .. and gonna lose 160 infy shares in the long run.........

now atlast i am finding some enthu in the work and the responsibility i carry ..
so posponing studies for a year shhudnt be that difficult ..
so .. i shall pull this dreadly year through ..amd i make sure i land on blore soil directly at the end of January.. by then atleat i shud have seen sumanth off to US ..
well sudeepa irtane .. kummi .. aug tanka irtane ..

okay makkla ..its cobol,cics, jcl time .. shall be back ..
watch this space..

highlights of the weekend .. not much .. phone ..chat..phone ..chat.. cobol..mgmt book .. porbably office .. need to buy oakley .. have a driving class ..

Yesterday

...was a hubba....It is called Nagara panchmi.

Left office early and had sweets at 3 relatives place and
came back late to house.Drove the esteem after a long time.
And I was a sleepy agitated frustrated driver.
Because of Gus-gusay payasa and chakli after a lonnnnng time.

The lorries have started parking in straight lines at 10
in the night near the Mysore Road and 100 ft ring road junction
(I am talking of the stretch after PESIT and Pallavi Dhaaba..)

Then I watched a spanish movie called Matador.
I have watched two spanish movies and both of them
by a director called Pedro Almodovar
All I can say about the spanish and turkish movies are that ,
our sense of humor,life and even lifestyle are very different from theirs.
Very odd movies.

Now on a sat, i am at office with some weird news I get on my email everyday :-)
for every action
there is an equal and opposite reaction

People,

Day has finally arrived for me to say goodbye to infosys.Frankly speaking the moment has not sunk into me ... sometimes things happen so fast and u probably wont know what ur gonna lose. But what
I am very sure of missing is all u wonderful people.

Its been a epic journey for me past two years, lots of downs and few ups ....u guys have all been
there to share my joys and help me in troubled times. U people were probably only people who were
gonna understand the tension, frustration and anxiety I was going through. I just want to THANK u
all !!

I have always beleived in following my dreams and ambitions. But sometimes I am forced to modify them ;-) bcos of factors u guys probably know.

There are few regrets though, as to y the **** we didnt go to bayana beach in goa, y didnt I join
more trips fyi went to.

What I gonna miss is Beautiful manja's .....beautiful thoughts ....beautiful insights about
marriage and sex life ... beautiful mails .... beautiful lunch we would have ....basically gonna
miss beautiful..

Lunch without vikram is not complete ....his succinct poems and his one liners about anythings
for that matter ... were amazing ....and surely going miss them....thinking of witty statements
and intelligent conversion ... and imdb reminds me of sudeep .... his dream of writing a script
better that M N Shamalan and his interest in movies .... and he's all famous distinction of red
pill and blue pill day .... and hez ability to understand my off days ... my frustration and
insanity ... thanks for all the above dude .....

When I think of achivements n go getters I think v wont have to go any further ... we have our
very own GG ... inspirational ..charismatic ...funny ....tall ...dark ..handsome ....( I have
added the last 3 to make it sound good ...GG dont take them seriously) ... we are already missing

pagerank

For my first sem seminar, I will be reading up on pageranking (officially, for 4 credits)......nice start to my MTech....and other than rains, damp air, fungus infected clothes, assignments, projects, seminars, classes, sleepless nights and hostel food, i have nothing else to say.......

Heard that Sholay is a big hit again here in Mumbai where it was re-released to commemorate the 29th anniversary......a few of us will be catching it in a theatre next week(to get one up with all those who smirk about how this generation has never seen it in a theatre).

where has GD disappeared.....

Scooter

At the devegowda petrol bunk , car got punctured and so
I took my Bajaj chetak for the office for the first time.

Hmm
You just cant beat a bajaj.

At first , I felt like Dr.Rajkumar in Eradu Kanasu.
I was singing "omme ninna nodalu" from the film eradu kanasu.
PS: ninna refers to my office and nobody else.

My journey was a mixture of pleasant feeling initially and
later the competitive spirit to be first to find the gaps
in the road.

I saw the birds flapping insanely at Banashankari Bus stop,
then the greenery of lush green parthenium plants attacking every
open drain , yet since it was early morning, I enjoyed my ride.

Then came the flyover construction.I couldnt hear my own scooter's noise.
When you cannot hear your own scooter's noise you get confused whether
your scooter is on or off.The competitive spirit took over my
feel good spirit when it became a question of survival on the road.

I cursed everybody on my way (dog,car,lorry,beautiful girls,santros and altos)
and made my way to the office.

Phew...need to wash my face.

QED

I just bought a book recommended by a colleague called QED...by R.P.Feynman.
The book just shows what GREAT TEACHERS are all abt....

It is about keeping things AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE.
He was a physics prof. at Caltech....and he hasnt written the
book....They are the lectures at Caltech he'd given!

The book just
ka

kicks ass!



The initial pages are really whacko.....
Hopefully, I am gonna be educated about Quantum Theory soon.

I ran out of ...

ideas and bought 4 foreign movies in majestic for 170/- on a sunday.
One from turkey, one from spain, one from mexico and another from....I dunno which
language or i dont even care...

I saw the turkish movie.It yucked....I had a tough time searching it on imdb.
But with my googling i was able to locate it.here's a synopsis

As the Ottoman Empire comes to an end, an old servant spins a tale to keep the women in the
Sultan's harem distracted. The story is about Safiye, who first becomes the Sultan's favorite
concubine, and later the official wife. As she gains power and influence, she engages in a tryst
with Nadir, the black eunuch. When the Empire falls, the Sultan escapes to Europe, leaving all the
concubines behind. Safiye fights for their rights under the new order...

VERY VERY BORING FILM and an EVEN MORE BORING MONDAY.
I want to see a kashinath movie today.

Spirituality

Our country India is deeply rooted in spirituality.
If given a chance I would love to uproot it.

We can make everything connect to spirituality.
To give some examples :-

->Sex was spiritual to one guy.

->Breathing is an exercise (i very much agree) but Connecting
spirituality and breathing is once again done by another guy.

->Okay another tried and tested spirituality was "touching"....
You touch a forehead of a person and you call it spiritual....
I have seen that moustached man i SS music who touches people
and they faint cos' they are spiritualised.

->Another fakir waved the hand in thin air and used to get ashes which
devotees would apply on their foreheads.

->Cow's urine is spiritual and it has ayurvedic properties.So you can
encircle your mouth to its genitals and have a mouthful of FRESH urine.

->Another fakir used to fertilize wives of big officers and his semen was
considered sacred.This guy was arrested.

->The raelians.These guys believed that UFOS are god.They cloned
humans.Modern scientfic spirituality.Visit www.rael.org for
more information and other strange creations of mankind.

->And the latest and really whacko was this website which I came across
which talks about GAZING the SUN and connecting it to spirituality.
http://www.solarhealing.com/index.html

I am not opposing these guys.Probably I might be following one of these
someday becos of frustrations and everything.
But they claim they have SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCES to prove why they breathe/
have sex/gaze at the sun ....etc. which is currently irritating me.


There is a guru who thinks he has it all in him.
Not that he is proud.He may be proud that he is really down-to-earth guy.
He may be really proud that he is really simple and modest.
Those cases are also there.
These gurus are mostly from India.

And about the FOLLOWERS.

These people are not just related to one country....
They are forced to believe that they are actually spiritually inclined,
(till now they never realised it but now there is a BIG CHANGE coming in their life)
and actually they can unleash spirituality.They are forced to believe
that they lead a stressful life and they require healing.
Then these poor souls BELIEVE that they
are spiritual and they PUT their heart and soul into what the guru says.
So they experience the ****spirituality****.

Just see the movie BLAST FROM THE PAST.
You will get what i mean.

I have decided if nothing works I will start spirituality classes.
I will become a guru.
For example I can say that the tip of human fingers have nerves
which can stimulate the brain so i have designed special
keyboard typing classes so that you can be sharp yet PEACEFUL
all the time.The keyboards are not ordinary keyboard.It is made
of wood from coconut trees in ceylon way back in 1952.
And Dr.Kaiser from the German Mental Hospital has
undergone my Keyboard typing course and his life is changed forever.

The best part is that some people MIGHT actually take my words seriously,
and BELIEVE that their lives were changed by taking my keyboard classes.

I am psyched.I will enroll myself to a spirituality class.

hey gd, link andre ee blog linka? :-o
what was the sacred connection ?

c-scanners

I found two utilities which will save time grepping!
one is called cscope and the other is called ctags.
They are a poor man's code browser..Use them with vim6 or above.
Both are available at sourceforge. Pretty neat and small
programs.

Yella okayyyy

Can neone of you recognize this lady ?
foto

It is marimuttu from the movie upendra.

Had the immense pleasure of watching
the movie Upendra yesterday.
All my friends had been recommending this movie.
I had great fun seeing this movie.
The first thing which strikes you when you
see this movie NOW is that Uppi has changed.
He has become more "civilized" and "conventional".

Marimuttu is a female don.
She dots her son and refers to him as a "rocket" !
She is wonderfully casted...
some of the dialogs of the movie are too good...
The casting guy has done a great job out of this.

Update

Ahhhhhhhhhh.

After a long time i enjoyed the nirvana of being busy.
The best part about being is busy in work is that if you
are occupied you forget other things.

At the end of the day you feel you have accomplished,
even though productivity is low.

They have put "Quality" papers all over the place here.
Mission statements and all that.Inspirational stuff etc..
It wasnt there till today...We have the values and vision
to remind us life-is-so-meaningless.

Some of my favorite values :-
->Customer Focus.
->Customer Delight.
->Leadership by Example.
->Excellence.
->Integrity.

Vision statements :-

->To be a globally respected corporation delivering
world class business solutions by Leadership
and excellence.

->To be India's technical frontier in Telecom solutions

->To develop a highly skilled human resource which has the ability
to adapt to a rapidly changing environment thru the participative
efforts of management,students and parents (this was from my college).

Huff-man i am so tired.....

moveeeeddd

well the old friend morry (from 'teusdays with morry) cudnt move me an inch .. and here i am moved by buddy's words ..
seriously what are we on chase for ..
not satisfaction .. but money which we think will buy it ..

irli siva ..naanu adhe angle beda ..
aadare today sudeeps words .. aka from First blood has made me thinking again ..

shh ..the devil mind of gd which is asking for a tag heur .. y the heck u need a 2k $ watch ..tika muchko...

Funda mood today


Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No
Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all
been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and
rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.


From the movie fightclub.

Feeling like an idiot today...
The focus is really missing ....

I think i have wasted the wholeday including
this very moment.....

But the coffee was really good....
The food was good too.

One maintenance guy has left a powerdrill here
and he has gone for coffee...
I thought of drilling a hole into my temple....
I am just switching it OFF and ON and irritating
the people here...
If they think silence is golden , I am here to
challenge them....OFF-ON-OFF-ON....

Today is a friday..Another weekend....
Weekends are coming at the rate of concorde...
Things are really out of control.

My umbrella has become my best friend.....replacing the likes of sudeep, gd, kummi, richie and a few more......what crap....

Groan

What the heck is this...
Coming early in the morning on a road with
craters like the moon, and typing a blog.

I feel like crossing the river by jumping from one stone on to the other.
(Kuntebille styles).
That would have been a better idea.

I give up all hope on mankind.They are just too much.

Heights
File photo shows that mankind is just too much

shifting houses

mann ..tufff jobb indeed .. shifting houses is such a big pain ..
i pity girls who shift homes ..
beligge yeddi nodu .. all new monsterous faces by you ..
i yell out old roomies names.. "yaar thoda chai bana dena .. "
and i get back deserving stares ...
the sleep's got screwed ...too
the new house is too near to the office ..
that gives me more chance of forgetting the list of official duties to be done..
and keep jogging bet house and office .......

yeah its a house .. when will i be back home ..:((

Meanwhile

On the technical side(hahaha),
i am trying to code a testcase for a wap-client and a server.
Am i too good or what? :-))

Both(client and serevr) make grandiose openings....
like printing sexy debug statements....eg.
-------------------------------------------------------------
SERVER: Entering Run Level 3 - [OK] //yeah just like the init process
-------------------------------------------------------------
Then...Both smile wryly....
Then...both agree to crash...

It's a pity we cannot have a CRASH_ACK command.
Because we cannot send anything after we have crashed.
An analogy :- Just like "why dont we have a command so that if we
type "power-up" and press ENTER on the keybrd, the system turns
its switches ON and boots up 'automatically'?"

I am tearing my hair.I might go bald.I am already getting there.

Quizilla dot com

Well it is a tough life out everywhere...
We all know nothing about ourselves....
Especially when we take online quizzes.

Online quizzes are there to show
what character you are (in my case
what character i am not)

I could not even probe into the psyche
of the quiz maker this time.Like
how he made those questions...etc! etc!!

I present this quiz....
I liked the choices he had to his questions.
check them out.

These are my results (please i am
not such an enthu person for anything) :-

Palmolive ka jawaab nahin

Teju
Hero Hero Hero....Naane Naane Naane

Match

YES !The Men In BLUE LOST the match!
YES! YES!! YES!!!
The idiots.

I watched the Srilanka's innings on Double
Road, with many other people seeing thru' the
glass of a TV showroom.I also dented the esteem
car while trying to park like Mr.Smart Guy.
Life sucks.

It was a bowler's day out.
Not a day out for biggie bowlers like Murali...
But dynamically allocated bowlers like any other
bowler in both the sides.

Sehwag and Sachin were able to turn the ball
in the first half.I expected a bloodbath
of indian batsmen by Murali, Murali was very
ordinary yesterday.However Chandana did the blood bath.
Doesnt his name remind you of the ad
"arishina,kumkuma,chandana gida moolikegalu prakruthi..etc"

Marvan Atapattu kashtapattu aadida.So he made runs.
Tendulkar has lost his charm...I hate to say this,
but it actually seems like that.
However the Wall looked really good.He can actually bat!
He was agressive...but then he lost control.
But due to the pitch (where even i could spin the ball
like hell) all the batsmen got out.

I think the whole Indie batsmen suffered.
More details here

SPIDEY!

Spiderman-2 is a good movie.Along with spiderman cartoon,
i used to watch thistoo.

Monday morning.Maybe GD you can catch up with "the village" by Night Shyamalan.
Here's a synopsis :-

Covington Pennsylvania is a nice quiet town surrounded by a beautiful forest where strange, and unseen creatures live. The people of Covington have a small, yet essential agreement with these creatures. Do not to come to our village, we will not come to your woods. It's as simple as that. But Lucius, one of the townfolk, realizes it's not fair to be completely confined to the town, and goes into the woods for something no one knows about. Not long after, the town is under attack. Red blood slashes are found on the doors all over the village, and pretty soon, the creatures have agreed with Lucius. Why stay in the woods when there's a village to be explored, and people to be hunted.
