personally i loved the movie Slumdog Millionaire, But i dont understand why its getting such criticisam from indian schoolers.
One of the writer Sudip Mazumdar of Newsweek wrote:
“People keep praising the film’s ‘realistic’ depiction of slum life in India. But it’s no such thing. Slum life is a cage. It robs you of confidence in the face of the rich and the advantaged. It steals your pride, deadens your ambition, limits your imagination and psychologically cripples you whenever you step outside the comfort zone of your own neighborhood. Most people in the slums never achieve a fairy-tale ending.” Link
These are very disturbing remarks. Auther has compared his story with Slumdog millionaire and try to create a picture that people from slum dont go anywhere. Then how come he writing for Newsweek?
Yes,slum still your pride , but it also gives you ability to understand what is real pride is!
Yes, slum deadens your ambition, but it help you to set some realistic ambitions!
yes, Its limits your imaginations, But its also you to understand what is the real problem and ability to answer those in most effective way!
No , Slums dont cripples you , Rather slum always remind you that there are so many things that need to be changed in your neighborhood whenever you steps outside.
Most people in the slums never achieve a fairy-tale ending , Yes. But they atleast make sure next generation leaves better life than they have lived.

I spent lots of time searching this. SVN Red book http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ do not explain it properly. So here i am trying to Explain it.
1. Make sure you have SVN_EDITOR veriable set.
2. Type following command on Terminal
svn propset svn:ignore “*” log/
this will ignore all the logs file from your rails folder structure. You have to delete all the logs file before running this command.
3. If you want specifically Ignore only one file from directory e.g i want to ignore schema.rb from db director into rails folder structure.
svn propset svn:ignore “schema.rb” db/
4. Commit and apply changes
Done.

i really didn’t write anything here from very long time.. i can give list of causes but who cares.. !!
So today , i was talking to some of my old friends , at Cafe Durga near BVP, and we started discussing about the entrepreneurship..aha.. my favourite topic.
So Deepak was sharing his experience about the Innovative product that he tried to develop at his workshop.
He had develop some prototype small scale WindPower generate , his target customer is farmers. He and his dad was working on it and they have set the some target budget which the product should not cost beyond that.
After compition of the product in tight budget , they tested it by installing it on there workshop’s roof.. and result were not up to the mark. He mention some technical problem … which obviously i couldn’t get it because of my Only-Comp background.
So while discussing this , we talked about what should be priority of individual person should have … money or value.. ?
According to deepak , first and most important thing is that business or product should make money for its promoter or creator.. , but i was trying to explain him about how individual should first concentrate about the Value his product or business create to its customer/users… then after that money is obvious thing that is gonna follow. ( very much in the style of Guy Kawasaki )
of course couldn’t convince him.. because he don’t want to get convince with this as he was very frustrated with failure ..
May be next week i will give a look at his product.. ( even though he don’t want me too.. ) and wish that he would let me help him…

XMLBeans is a technology for accessing XML by binding it to Java types.
The idea is that you can take advantage of the richness and features of XML and XML Schema and have these features mapped as naturally as possible to the equivalent Java language and typing constructs. XMLBeans uses XML Schema to compile Java interfaces and classes that you can then use to access and modify XML instance data. Using XMLBeans is similar to using any other Java interface/class, you will see things like getFoo or setFoo just as you would expect when working with Java. While a major use of XMLBeans is to access your XML instance data with strongly typed Java classes there are also API’s that allow you access to the full XML infoset (XMLBeans keeps XML Infoset fidelity) as well as to allow you to reflect into the XML schema itself through an XML Schema Object model.

Today I meet my Project guide. One more meeting where he was throwing all bouncers. I hardly understand what he said. But i manage to get answer to my questions at least.
I will write about my project after some time, as i really need to make sure that what i am writing here i should implement that. Project is in very early stage of design, implementation is very long journey, though i would say we had good start and comparativly good resources available.
So as Guide said we may be need to use AJAX for Our Dashboard module. He gave us just one option , but i started thinking if i am going to use AJAX then what framework i should choose? yes that was the same question to him also. He recommended Dojo(http://dojotoolkit.org/), even i dont heard about it before , i am aware of mooTools(http://mootools.net/) though. I am not that much familiar with AJAX or JavaScript.

Article 49-0 of the Constitution
Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section “49-O” that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn’t want to vote anyone!
Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called “49-O”.
Why should you go and say “I VOTE NOBODY”… because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received “49-O” votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and will have to be re-polled. Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them. This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system… it is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public….
Please spread this news to as many as you know… Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India… show your power,expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting… so don’t miss your chance. So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on…
“Please forward this message to as many as possible, so that we, the people of India, can really use this power to save our nation”. Use your voting right for a better INDIA.
So next time if you feel the candidates appearing for election are not worth of being your leaders just defy them. Say No to them.
Let’s Come together to build our India.

The day i started writing this blog, on very same day i lost my connection due to some technical problem in my area. And after that a very long war of words started , Between me and You Telecoms Customer Executives.
You telecom provides very good internet connection service , but they have worst customer support. More ever there Call center is in mumbai , so pune customer like me has to call mumbai. I usually make this kind of calls from Coin Box, but there call center has some faulty system too. So i was loosing my coine without even talking to them.
Some how i successfully got the number of there back office manager.
and then keep calling on that number till they solved my Problem. It took around 5 days to get my connection back.
Its not the only story with You Telecome, but its the same story with every other Broadband service provider. There are couple of Broadband Forums site online , when you tried search through those you will find such 1000 incidents and 10000 unsatisfied customer.
TRI should look into it.
At last i hope better communication with better Broadband service provider , because Internet is tomorrows Communication platform , spreading like spider in India.
