CodeIgniter - removing Index.php from path and enable $_GET

Enable Mod_rewrite in apache

in htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

check in your apache config:

AllowOverride All
It works
http://example.com/foo/fun should work
also
http://example.com/index.php/foo/fun works

Get request issue solution got from Al James. republishing it here. thanks Al James.

I have recently added $_GET support to my CI project.

I wanted to do this in such a way as to avoid hacking the CI code. Its actually quite simple.

Firstly, set the config item for uri_protocol to use PATH_INFO:

$config['uri_protocol'] = "PATH_INFO";
This ensures that query string parts dont get treated like the rest of the CI uri structure (resulting in lots of 404 not founds).


Secondly, you need to extend the default Input library in order to stop it clearing the $_GET variable. Place the following file (called MY_Input.php) in your application/libraries/ folder:

class MY_Input extends CI_Input {

function _sanitize_globals()
{
$this->allow_get_array = TRUE;
parent::_sanitize_globals();
}

}
This basically overrides the Input.php class to allow $_GET variables, but does not open up CI to query string URI routing (as it would if we simply set $config[‘enable_query_strings’] = TRUE).

Of course you will need to make sure that your config file specifies you subclass_prefix to be ‘MY_’, i.e.:

$config['subclass_prefix'] = 'MY_';
If its not, you can change the filename and classname of the above code accordingly!

That works for me anyway

Hathway issues

Few tips and solutions to hathway users:
1) Internet stops working if you change machine.
If you have configured internet to work with one PC/laptop. and its working fine.
and One fine day, you got extra laptop or some friends comes and wants to connect to
internet using his laptop. internet stops working. Sometime if you reboot router,
internet will stop working on either of machine.
This is big headache.
Solution: Call hathway CC, tell them clearly that internet is not working as you changed your laptop. then they will do some reset from their side, and It works like magic, thing starts working on new laptop.

2) Configuring Router:
Better solution is get LinkSys Router and configure it. even if before configuring it, you need to ask hathway people to reset your connection.
There is no direct way to check if router is connected to internet or not, but it should set it as DHCP. it will pick up IP address and status will show UP(DHCP) under WAN.
if its not working after acquiring ip address. go to advance setup->advance routing , select Current mode as Gateway.

feel free to ask if its not working for you.

Automating MS Word

I was trying to fix a bug related to handling a windows document from ASP.net/C#/Windows Server 2003 program.
Some things I had issues and resolved.
1) Access Denied: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
Give access to Network Service to refered dll which should be Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll
2) Removing existing watermark from file programmatically.
doc.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekCurrentPageHeader;

foreach(Word.Shape s in doc.Application.Selection.HeaderFooter.Shapes ){
Logger.Write(s.Name);
if (s.Name.Length > 24 && s.Name.Substring(0, 24) == "PowerPlusWaterMarkObject") {
s.Delete();
}
}
doc.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekMainDocument;


3) Memory issues
You will notice Winword.exe in TaskManager. which opens after each operation.
better refer following discussion at Stackoverflow.

Running with Gazelles, Eating with Lions

Why this writeup?

ans: To tell the others (excluding bolt), that they should read this wonderful book.



African proverb from The world is flat by T.L.Friedman.


Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every mornning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesnt matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running.


I think, It is right time I am reading this book.

Kukudtadao

Why is this writeup?
wrote this golden words in victorious mood, on March 20, 2008.

So We celebrated Holi at talentica with full enthusiasm yesterday. So it started with Tug of war competition,
which definitely we won without any serious competition as being strongest team, with Major, Ryan, Nitin on our side, We were predicted to be winners of competition
and we came true to prediction, defeating oppositions in few seconds. though you might be thinking sandip more and tug-of-war..something is wrong? no man yes I was right there though I didnt play any significant role other than providing some entertainment to spectators when Major was giving fundaes to me about how to stand and how should I pull...it was fun in the end...Winning or loosing doesnt matter in such kind of events. but you should assure that you win :)

Elements of Sustainable Companies

Why you want to read this?
Well because, I didnt write this.

Start-ups with these characteristics often foretells the success of a business and the likelihood of it becoming a sustainable, enduring company. We like to partner with companies that have:
Clarity of Purpose
Summarize the company's business on the back of a business card.
Large Markets
Address existing markets poised for rapid growth or change. A market on the path to a $1B potential allows for error and time for real margins to develop.
Rich Customers
Target customers who will move fast and pay a premium for a unique offering.
Focus
Customers will only buy a simple product with a singular value proposition.
Pain Killers
Pick the one thing that is of burning importance to the customer then delight them with a compelling solution.
Think Differently
Constantly challenge conventional wisdom. Take the contrarian route. Create novel solutions. Outwit the competition.
Team DNA
A company's DNA is set in the first 90 days. All team members are the smartest or most clever in their domain. "A" level founders attract an "A" level team.
Agility
Stealth and speed will usually help beat-out large companies.
Frugality
Focus spending on what's critical. Spend only on the priorities and maximize profitability.
Inferno
Start with only a little money. It forces discipline and focus. A huge market with customers yearning for a product developed by great engineers requires very little firepower.
Writing A Business Plan
We like business plans that present a lot of information in as few words as possible. The following format, within 15-20 slides, is all that's needed:
Company Purpose
Define the company/business in a single declarative sentence.
Problem
Describe the pain of the customer (or the customer's customer).
Outline how the customer addresses the issue today.
Solution
Demonstrate your company's value proposition to make the customer's life better.
Show where your product physically sits.
Provide use cases.
Why Now
Set-up the historical evolution of your category.
Define recent trends that make your solution possible.
Market Size
Identify/profile the customer you cater to.
Calculate the TAM (top down), SAM (bottoms up) and SOM.
Competition
List competitors
List competitive advantages
Product
Product line-up (form factor, functionality, features, architecture, intellectual property).
Development roadmap.
Business Model
Revenue model
Pricing
Average account size and/or lifetime value
Sales & distribution model
Customer/pipeline list
Team
Founders & Management
Board of Directors/Board of Advisors
Financials
P&L
Balance sheet
Cash flow
Cap table
The deal

Serenity in Pandemonium

He said, "he wants to go to himalaya leaving everything behind to search for peace"
His friend told him, (tapping index finger on his left ): "man..........peace is here, you dont need to go to anywhere"

This conversation was enough to start one thinking about inner peace, I read somewhere that introvert people get their energy from silence, from being silent,being alone.

Actually I dont know but if you ask me which place, (to clear the air, I think I am an introvert person). I like to go some place most when I am confused, I am unsure about future, I am damn upset due to someone or about something. or one want to get free.....

I love crowded city bus stops. you just go there sit there. The best thing about it is that you are alone with so much things happening around, you can spend any number of hours you want to sit there or stand there, no one will ask you question that why are you sitting/standing there. may be someone can ask about time, if you have wrist watch, or about some X bus going to Y place has came in last Yhrs/minutes. you can ignore him (but not her as abla nari ko help karna chahiye), or you can say you dont know. so apart from this disturbance you would be left alone. so what you do there..then I try to see in people's faces, in their eyes. if some good girl (well you cant stare at her just like that, atleast I cant ) is there I look around to see how many passer-bys who stare at her...I try to read their eyes. and also the passer-bys who ignore her due to their ego or worries..I look at her expressions. though I dont get anything.but just trying to understand things. then everything will leave, catching there buses, and when only 1-2 people remaining there..you know that its time for you to leave as by the time like outside chaos getting vanished, you will find your mind becoming calmer.

If someone is waiting there for long, I try to guess what that person might be thinking..

Serenity in Pandemonium...wordweb zindabad. "Peace in Chaos" was not bad title too..
Its like chaos inside you trying to compete with chaos in outside world, and you try to find meanings of many meaningless things going on outside and may be at that time you find out that same thing is happening inside you the chaos is temporary it will callm down after some time as the chaos outside just be with it.

this is quite old post I wrote it on private blog, just republishing it here.

The story of accident

I thought he was taking right to enter BRT lane,
then I thought left in same lane.

then realized he hadnt seen it,
but he was driving it straight.
it was deja vu.
There was panic I shouted then in a moment we were in the air
and in the next moment, on the road in the pain surrounded by public.
It was like stunt in movie, only difference was we were part of that.

Sometime u know it is going to happen and it happens.

now recovering from accident with bedrest, direct fall on back is so painful.
he was soumya and date was 3rd aug 08

Log4net

Why is this writeup?
brother, to tell you that this is not that difficult and its good thing to have in your code.

Log4net package is used for logging in ASP.net. for more you read wiki.

1) Download Zip file using Wget. there would be good chance that it will unzip. Got this after downloading using Firefox/IE/Safari on Mac. downloaded zip file was corrupted always. finally downloading using wget worked on mac and windows both.


2) log4net usage.
its quite simple and standard
things to checkout before you get frustrate and giveup.
a) Download zip using wget and get proper dll file and add it as a reference.
b) Add line in assemblyinfo file which tells that configuration for log4net is stored in Web.config
c) add proper config info in Web.config file which you can find easily on internet.

Yes+

Why is this writeup?
Brother, to tell you something abt art of living, Jai gurudev :)

Did YES+ course in bangalore koramangala...
Talk by Rashmin was quite funny...they created big excitement around bawa but he didnt come...many heart-breaks..
banni hundaga and hundagis and vellaya..added words to kannada vocab...

thanks to kaykay and suman and volunteers...
to clear your mind...

Love

I was puzzled as to what I would say to you about love. Love is so difficult to describe.
I could just come and sit - if it could be glimpsed in my eyes perhaps that would be it, or if it could be felt in the gestures of my hands, you could have seen it and I could say: This is love.

But what is love?

If it is not seen in my eyes, if it is not felt in the movements of my hands, then what it is can certainly never be felt through my words.

-- Osho

Nano space

Well, Talentica readers, your first guess will be wrong as this is not about our funky, new cool office but but but, your second guess should and must be right..Yes!!
its about India's dream 1L car - Tata Nano.

Kahani me thoda twist to hona hi chahiye...yach sathi kela hota ha attahas...

Today we went to croma showroom at Nana-space in aundh. Many spaces here and there...because Nano is small but quite spacious inside and I wanted to make title interesting for some peope.

I didnt get chance to drive but just experience of seating in car was good. I was quite impressed. "Go Fida" punch line should be taken away from Ford cars and should be awarded to Nano.

Tata engineers has done wonders, Congrats Ratan Tata, the visionary and his Nano team. Just waiting for the day, when Tata's avails this Dream for test drive and let our dream come true to drive this car.

The great gatsby

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter -

tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . .

And then one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

mysql - copying data to other db using sqlyog

Sqlyog is pretty good client to access mysql and doing various operation on MySQL. I wanted to make copy of full DB for backup purpose. I took dump using sqlyog (structure+ data). then I was going to create new DB by running this script but noticed
functionality of copying db to other DB in sqlyog. I thought that would be safe. but it turned out that it was taking lots of time. so I suggest its better to copy data using taking dump of db and run those script to create fresh db. wat do you think?

Google Chart api issues

While working out graphs with Google chart api, We couldnt find ways render some of things properly, we used workaround in some cases.

1) Legends positioning
We couldnt find a parameter using which we can specify distance between legend and x-axis.



workarounds we used:
rendering legends using html


2) Legends ordering

Google is not rendering the legends as per order we give in url. looks like it orders
them alphabetically.



workaround we used:
rendering legends using html

3) Labeling issues
2 issues here
a) when bar is of full lenth, label overlaps bar
b) how to specify space between label and bar.




No workaround

4) length of Y axis
y-axis in not inheriting length of graph.



workaround we used:
use different margins as per number of bars. chbh=25,10,30
using 300 instead of 30 works.

Configuring virtual host on windows in Apache 2

I am running two different apps on my localhost. one is in python and other in php.
I also want to learn how to configure virtual host so that 2 different domain names can point to same ip. it turned out to be quite simple. at first it was not working
because I was writing extra slash at end of documentroot, instead of "C:\work\SandipProject1\trunk\Website", I was "C:\work\SandipProject1\trunk\Website\" and getting permission denied.


in your httpd conf,

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:\work\SandipProject1
ServerName sandipProject1.com
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:\work\sandipProject2
ServerName sandipProject2.com
</VirtualHost>

<Directory C:\work\SandipProject1\>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler index
OPTIONS -Indexes
</Directory>

<Directory C:\work\sandipProject2\>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
DirectoryIndex index.php

jquery tooltip bug - IE7 bigger fonts - hack

if you are using jquery tooltip plugin to show pop up. you will notice that on IE7, its showing much bigger font size. reason for this internally its using h3 tag which is not changed if you set font-size of overall div on IE7. so you need to explicitly overwrite the h3 style and set the smaller font-size, it works beautifully for both firefox and ie7.
actually this solution is given on following page but its at bottom. one might miss this so trying to give it more focus through my blog.

following is the code.

#tooltip {
font-size:10px;
}

add this in your css
#tooltip.pretty h3 {
font-size:8pt;
}

btw above mentioned code didnt worked for me. i took out pretty and it worked well.

#tooltip h3 {
font-size:8pt;
}

I added font-weight:normal to make it look better. so it becomes

#tooltip h3 {
font-size:8pt;
font-weight:normal;
}

HSBC credit card gotcha

I have a HSBC gold credit card which I didnt use a single time. I got it as free card.
yday I got a credit card statement asking me to pay 2247, first shocked to see bill as I didnt do any shopping using this card. splitup was 2000 rs membership card fees and
247 as service tax on it. so I thought yday I will pay and will stop using this card. also felt cheated by the hsbc.

so discussed this with friends today but they said you just call up customer care and they will waive off the charges. and also mentioned that HSBC people add to your bill for various charges but you can waive it off by calling customer care. I called up customer care and they just waived it off.
so in case, you are having same problem, you dont need to pay it. just call customer care and waive it off.

Scripts to restart apache/mysql in windows

Currently I am working on 2 projects. both projects involves Apache and Mysql. but configuration used for each project is different and one project is using WAMP. So I was needed to start and stop services to switch between projects I am working. it was becoming quite tedious. so I tried to write a scripts to restart services whenever I was going to switch between projects. I am linux guy so like writing scripts but was new to writing script for restarting services on windows.
following are the scripts to start the services..

A.bat

sc stop Apache2
sc stop MySQL
pause
sc start wampapache
sc start wampmysqld


B.bat

sc stop wampapache
sc stop wampmysqld
pause
sc start Apache2
sc start MySQL


I first started using actually executables from bin directories from respective apps. but It was not working for stopping the service.

I used pause because didnt find sleep command on windows. these scripts I wrote using whatever help I got from windows help service. as I was working from home without internet.

if sc start/stop says service is not installed then you can install the service.
sc install servicename.

you have any better ways of doing this things let me know.

konneyy - who is this?

I turned my head with surprize...wanting to know from where question came.
"konneyy?" question in high pitch voice, repeated with mischivous smile on his face..
"Hrithik Roshan" I replied..
"Hitik roan" he repeated excitedly and kept repeating with playful smile.
"He" in this story is my 1 and 10 month year old nephew. I was quite surprized because he barely can talk now. and He wanted to know who is the smart guy on Coffee with Karan show. Amazing!!!

cant connect to mysql from client on remote machine, mysql running on aws

error messages you can get are
Error 2003: Can't Connect to MySQL server on 'hostname'

1) enable the firewall for amazon aws ec2 instance.
ec2-authorize default -p 3306
3306 is default port on which mysql runs. If you are running mysql on different port like 3307 or 3309 enable that.

2) in mysql/my.cnf which is mysql config file.

comment out following line which allows connection only from localhost.

bind_address=127.0.0.1


3) log on to mysql with root from local machine

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'user'@'ipadd' identified by 'pwd';

ipadd is ip address of machine from which you are trying to connect to mysql server
user and password are auth info.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer

from
wikipedia

McCartney said in 1994 that it merely epitomises the downfalls of life:

"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is my analogy for when something goes wrong out of the blue, as it so often does, as I was beginning to find out at that time in my life. I wanted something symbolic of that, so to me it was some fictitious character called Maxwell with a silver hammer. I don't know why it was silver, it just sounded better than Maxwell's hammer. It was needed for scanning. We still use that expression now when something unexpected happens."

McCartney referred to the song when talking about his 2005 album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard:
"In the past I may have written tongue-in-cheek, like 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer', and dealt with matters of fate in a kind of comical, parody manner. It just so happens in this batch of songs I would look at these subjects and thought it was good for writing. If it's good enough to take to your psychiatrist, it's good enough to make a song of."



Lyrics and video..

Joan was quizzical; Studies pataphysical
Science in the home.
Late nights all alone with a test tube.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine,
Calls her on the phone.
"Can I take you out to the pictures,
Joa, oa, oa, oan?"

But as she's getting ready to go,
A knock comes _ON_ the door.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down UPON her head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again.
Teacher gets annoyed.
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant
Sce, e, e, ene,

She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away,
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times "I must not be
So, o, o, o.."

But when she turns her back on the boy,
He creeps up from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.

P. C. Thirty-one said, "We caught a dirty one."
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Rose and Valerie, screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
(Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them
So, o, o, o.

But as the words are leaving his lips,
A noise comes from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead.

Whoa, oh, oh Silver hammer,

2oct celebration with Gandhiji

2oct celebration with Gandhiji


The Clean Earth Movement which is involved in tree plantation on the Baner hill and in garbage management activities in the Baner-Balewadi area announced the Clean Rivers initiative to start on Oct 2nd.

Their aim is to get the Mula and Mutha rivers to their earlier state of being rivers rather than the current state where they are looking more like sewage canals and swamps.

The first step in that regard is to clean up the Ramnadi river that flows from Pashan lake into the Mula river. the sewage canal that flows under the bridge at Hotel Mahabaleshwar, but it actually starts off as a clean river !


Pune Municipal Corporation staff and local activists will explain the plan and also start cleaning activities at this time.


It was nice to be part of this initiative.

some pics from those events.


If you are resident of baner/balewadi and wish to be part of this movement, get in touch. or just
visit baner hill on sunday morning at 8 to plant and watering the trees.


Let it be Success. Go Green. Live Green.

Anamika on Orkut :)

So when Everyone here in India was worried about trust vote on 22 July 2008, even I was curious about the result and infact I wanted UPA to win the trust vote and they won :) but here in pune 3 of us were chatting about some other major situation on skype, which was initially disturbing for me but became quite amusing later, as is very much related to orkut :) and in the end was reason to remove smiling, smart, cute, beautiful and dashing pic of mine :)) from orkut profile.

so story goes as follows,

On the day of 22nd, maahi was as usual busy with managing his social life on orkut, suddenly in this friends list, he amused and wondered by an unsual thing on his friends list, what was it?

It was a picture of pretty girl, which is not usual for a seedha saadha guy like maahi which he didnt acquinted with to be on his friends list and he got more amused with picture was my profile picture. so excitedly he messaged dear bhola and put scraps to me asking who is she? is this your girlfriend? and bhole messaged me on skype telling me about this unusual thing which on any day, he would not have dreamed that I would have a girlfriend and more to that I would make it public in such a way, setting up a pic of her on my profile on social networking site, like orkut. and on any given day I wont. he guessed it should be some hacking attempt on my orkut account. as she was not my girlfriend who was she, I name it her as Anamika for the reason all knows.

Here is she on maahi's account.



and adding to confusion I tried to log on to orkut.com, it was not showing me my profile page and also not allowing me to logout. We thought it can be hacking case, but I could log into my other google accounts so it was not that sort of thing. fearing that it might be some nasty picture, I asked bhola and he sent me a screenshot, and I said, "Not bad!!!" she was quite pretty. I again and again tried to log on to orkut it didnt allowed me, finally I gave up and told bhola also to take it easy, somehow he seemed much more disturbed with this thing than me,

reason of it as I guess might be some new things like data migration which orkut might be trying at database level to improve performance or they might have tried to implement shards and failed at it. so I let it go.

but on second day, I think orkut dev guys fixed bugs, I was able to log in and got to the profile with apology from orkut about mess up with my profile pic, with telling me that my profile pic is restored but i couldnt see my profile pic.

here is pic restored message,





infact it took one more day for to appear smiling, smart, cute, beautiful and dashing pic of mine :))

In my mind I thanked some unknown dev guy from google for fixing bug with my profile, as I couldnt thank them as they dont have any easy to find feedback form :)). God knows, may be they are trying to become self-assuming gods which you can only connect with prayers.


But she didnt go, she came back and this time she appeared on my profile page again today. however pretty this anamika was, I just removed my profile pic from orkut, so you just see some arbit default image as on my profile on instead of, I bet you remember that ...smiling, cute, dashing etc etc pic of mine.

Here she comes again...



its look like it was some orkut maitenance updates.

http://en.blog.orkut.com/2008/07/update-on-recent-orkut-maintenance.html

so uploaded new photo on orkut, courtesy bhola.

Dont follow the Arrows - rajmachi :)



long story later but to tell in short that we lost our way cause we followed arrows which were taking us towards caves instead of taking us towards top. we couldnt reach to summit.

Full story as follows:

Trek to rajmachi

narayan and rashmi took a lead to organize 2-day trek with night stay to rajmachi, with 15 people showing interest initially, only 7 turned up on Trek-Day. as per my experience something always has to go wrong when you actually go for a trek, whatever planning you do beforehand it doesnt matter. it was no exception this time too. with sheetal and sunil getting stuck in their own home as they couldnt unlock their super-secure door from inside. and sujay with bad neck dropped his plan so they couldnt come. We had to wake up at 4.30 in the morning, Mahesh and veeru ditched last moment as per his usual reason "4 baje soye the hum log" :) but me and bhola reached the pune station as per plan and then with narayan, rashmi and 3 of their friends. we started our journey as tickets had been booked in advance, train journey was peaceful. we went to karjat then took a six-seater to base village kondivade.

Everything was going well, we reached base village, kondivade at 9 am which we thought was pretty early as per earlier experiences i though it will take 4 hrs so we should reach the top by 1 pm and thought we can come down same day.

so normally one would go to caves first and then to top, we decided to take other route as some big, noisy group of trekkers was with us so we decided to part our way from them and go directly to top. so we started well but soon we saw some arrows pointing the way we have come so we thought this is the way to go. so we followed those arrows in backword direction or in direction they were coming from. though we clearly saw that arrows are taking us in wrong direction, we still thought this is the way to go. so we followed them and after sometime the arrows vanished and we knew that we have lost out way, we messed up pretty badly. then so 3-4 hours we were struggling to find a way to go to top, at one point it seemed to us that we got the way. but it was wrong hope.
and meanwhile there was no rain but it started to downpour heavily. it was good to get drenched in monsoon rain.

then there we met some people from bombay who has organized ropeclimbing, I asked them for way to base village. but a guy told me that he was going towards caves in 5 minutes so he asked us to follow him, in no time it was clear that we are lost again as that guy seem to be newbie. hopefully signal was there so he called rest of group using a cellphone from one of us.

so we got to the caves then descended to base village, on the way back there was big waterfall. so all of us bathed there and then we started for base village. Ate Cheese vadapav there and went to karjat and then pune. total expense per head was 200 Rs only, including travel, food. quite cheap is mahangai ke zamaane me.

Though trek was incomplete we will give a try against next time.

svn update without password

first techi post from me.
I was setting up Cruise control on ubuntu box. cruisecontrol does svn update periodically and it was asking for interactive password for svn update from server. and it was failing. so I needed to set passwordless svn update on our dev m/c. I struggled bit but finally found the solution.
also got fundaes cleared abt how public-key cryptography works? :).

steps to setup,

1) generate private-public key pair on staging (remote server) using cmd
ssh-keygen -t
it will generate 2 keys id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. copy them to .ssh dir.

2) chmod 600 .ssh/rsa_id

3) copy private key from staging to .ssh dir on dev m/c
cd .ssh
scp user@staging:~/.ssh/id_rsa .
chmod 600 rsa_id

4) connect or do svn update from dev m/c to staging without password

Quotes from Vijay Tendulkar


I don't dream but its my wish , my dream, to play a clown. I want to paint myself and act like a mad person

I keep hearing this word again and again. What truth? Whose truth? These are the words that we play with. We wear clothes for others, behave in particular ways for others. And that living is the truth for that particullar moment. It changes from time to time and from individual to individual.

best writer I read till now. though not watched his best "sakharam binder" and "Ghansiram kotwal" ...searching for VCD/DVDs, anyone have it? ..let me know..

Rich man's story

Rich man was poor man 10 yrs back
He fought with his fate
He dropped out from school
He started with renting out auto rikshas
He then shifted to construction business
He got all political links at place
He loved a girl, eloped to marry with her
He became rich in no time
He built a dream palace like house
He goes to the work by his own chopper
and here we see him everyday from our terrace with awe.

Dada or not Dada




This is about Saurav Ganguli..the cricketer I loved and admired most till now..
Actually I am not fervent viewer of cricket, and when I was terrific tv watcher during my school days, cricket was favourite thing to watch..although I used to
watch anything that doordarshan people used to show. even regional movies..or sports like kabbadi or athletics...some sports..during these tv frenzy days our cricket team never performed well, always watched them going down to
africans, aussies or west indies...so after debacle in 96 worldcup , things changes..new faces like dravid and ganguly came in to the team, both had kind of style which I
liked...though I used to follow Dravid as he was most stylist and technically solid batsmen I ever seen, personally I loved ganguly as way he used to compete with tendulkar in opening partenerships and way he used to hit big sixes to murali. I never paid attention to his other abilities like fielding. I loved him because India was winning nad thats what was important. people used to criticize him sayin that he plays for himself. though I never able see why people say that..but indeed i loved funda of playing for yourself if your team is winning then whats harm in that...so ganguly became a captain and indian team started winning overseas. then in 2003 world cup, we reached to final. then came Greg chappell though gangule brought him, somehow that guy wanted ganguly out. and they made dravid captain and taking ganguly out of team. I was kind of hurt because my favourite player was out and reason was they wanted to build a team for next world cup and they did something silly things in between, they succeeded in winning few games then failed miserably..and even dada made comeback.
although he did scored well in most of the matches he played...but that confidence...dominance...class...rudeness...style was missing....and till now I dont find it in him.
I think all these things are related to real youth which can be seen now in batting of Rohit sharma or even gambhir...
and thats why i think dada should take retirement from cricket...and That exit should be honourable. Prince of kolkatta should retire. because we can not see someone like greg chappel to come again and take you out without having any aukad but have authority to do so..

The kind of attitude he has, he can do it any other fields of life (though he didnt do any special on cricket field [ing] )
may be he can do something in sports manangement field

One more Beautiful song from Beatles

John lennon wrote this with help of paul McCartney

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_My_Life

I used lyrics of this song in my email to my classmates to invite them to our hostel valfi. Best suited to occasion..:)

There are places i'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more

Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
In my life i love you more

------


Yes.......you my friends..I know i'll often stop and think about you all...

One more reason to love this song...notice last 2 lines... :D

Shwashank redemption

nothing to write abt.....!!!!



Red: Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

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

Andy Dufresne: Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.


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

Red: [narrating] I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

Red: [narrating] Andy Dufresne - who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.

Shantaram

So finally finished this novel...though initially I had to struggle a bit to read through pages..as it was like reading someones diary...but as story of this guy went ahead to afganistan and various secretes unfolded..it was like I do not want to stop reading till I finish, and every stop was like the heartbreak.. I realized same mania while reading Fountainhead.

liked imaginary character of Karla and her fundaes abt life expressed through one liners.

Now waiting for movie Shantaram now, heard that Johney depp is going to play central role but as per my visualization it should have been Russel crowe..gladiator fame and do you know Russel crowe is relative of Martin crowe ...now who the hell is...? Few years back he was the captain of NZ cricket team and also his name discussed for coach of Indian cricket team.... and for all you know Johney Depp shares honours with Brad pitt for being my favourite actors of HW.

some one-liners from this novel...
* Luck is what happens to you when fate gets tired of waiting

* Sometimes you have to surrender before you can win

* Happiness is a myth. It was invented to maake us buy new things

* There is nothin as depressing as a good advice.

* The real trick in life is to want nothing, and succeed in getting it.

Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata?
Yeah. It's our motto!

So I went to trip to hongkong-macau with arnd 50 member from talentica. 11-14 th Jan to mark this date.
It was first time I went out of India, but its like ek hi paththar me 2 chidiya marna..I made visit to Singapore,
hongkong and macau. the trip was quite eventful and overall enjoyable experience.
with all kind of expected/unexpected problems rolling up in front of us...it was still Hakuna matata...

so starting with one project team facing some problem in their project, delayed our start from pune itself, then 6hr long wait at mumbai airport as flight for singapore delayed then again missing flight for hongkong at singapore, then 12 people including me got caught in some unknown probelms at immigration in hongkong, then in 5 members lost their way in ocean park, then 2 guys losing their passport in macau, then getting back their passport after whole night search and finally to complement it, one guy got caught at customs check in mumbai, as he bought the camera from hongkong.. :)

but all this problems doesnt stopped us from enjoying things. so starting from mumbai airport itself, while waiting for flight I met my old colleague, with whom I worked in cmc-xilinx. lots of old memories refreshed. It was unexpected meeting so really was big surprise. As we needed to take connecting flight via singapore to Hongkong, we got chance to see Singapore, We took short city tour in Singapore which was free. though it was quite boring tour, it was just worth a bit to tell people that I went to Singapore too. :)
And then we reached hongkong, We really had good fun at Disney land in hongkong, where we saw a live lion king show where artists performed lion king story , it was real treat to eyes. then river cruise and 3D Micky, the concept of sprikling water on audiance made show different from other 3 d effects I saw in theaters. other than that we relived our childhood by playing different games their. and Not to miss the Fireworks in the Night, then Next day was in Ocean park where We saw panda then we got behind as sunil was busy in shopping so we got separated from our group. it is not good thing to miss from group as later 5 of people lost their way and we had to wait for them for 2hrs at the gates. that lost and found experience if described will take a blog itself. but I will write abt it at some other time.
we gambled for sometime in MGM casino in macau. and came back and had a good sleep in hotel.

and then we took ferry back to hongkong and then a return flight from hongkong to Mumbai.

so Hakuna Matata in Pune.
soon will post link to photos.

New name..New game

Isnt it a best time to change the title of my blog. so obvious reason why to change the title of the blog.
So answer my friend is not blowing in the wind but "Change". When I first named my blog as Ice cream, at that time
blog-writing was just for fun, I used to copy interesting things like poems, quotes from internet and put it in my blog, but aftera while
I started writing on my own, my own thoughts and real life experiences, so gradually blog became like my open diary.
One of my friend took a objection abt my posting things online which everyone can read, but actually my experience is completely opposite,
for a year or so, my blog mostly contained copied things and few from my own golden words and creativity, so once I read all
my old blogs, and I liked my golden words more than what I copy pasted, which inspired me to write more, and gradually
I also got feedback from friends that they loved to read my blog, and asked me to write more (not my surname).I think writing some
thing on your own, requires good frame of mind and I find it sometimes very difficult to express general thoughts (though I use Airtel..express yourself..click click)
but when it comes to describing some experience, it's easy.

So back to track, that's exactly why I wanted to change the name? (so whats in name..crystal?) actually this is end of 2007
and I was getting philosophical, and I was thinking abt the things and people(good n bad) went into past and I was thinking that some very nice and lovely
people came and detached, some left everlasting impression on my mind and
others left with their impression, same thing for events happened all this life I spent.
so I think interesting and nice people will come and events will happen in years to come, so its like journey till I stops.

and more creative compositions were sprouting in my mind so thought will put it down on notepad, so finally decided
to put this as a title of the blog.

So answer my friend is indeed blowing in the wind :)

Wish you happy new year 2008 :)

and for a change I started playing cricket....

Friday, December 28, 2007

Bye Bye 2007!!!

so goes another year... me going for 4 day vacation.

Happy new year, Readers and well wishers.!!!

Trek to kalsubai

Learning from prior experience and mismanagement and pain caused us in trek to HCgad , we started planning for this trek a week beforehand.
as all hard work paid, and our trek went well, Ashish pandey who was most enthu during planning and shopping for trek unluckily missed trek
as ranjan and pandey got into minor bike accident which left pandey injured badly.
As usual our plan didnt worked well from start, as we have decided to meet at shivajinagar at 6.30 am on saturday,

So as per plan we got into bus for sangamner and from sangamner we were planning to catch bus for bhandardara, we got into the bus and if any other direct bus for bhandardara is there, and found that there is bus for Rajur which is just 21 km from bhandardara so I ran back into the bus asked everyone to getout from the bus and directed them to Rajur bus which was empty.

So after bus took off, we reached rajur at arnd 12 pm and has light lunch and then took a Vadap (a term for local unauthorized travel where people travel sitting on the rooftop of bus) to bari, I thought that is the starting point for Ratangad, meanwhile we found that Heat was tough, grass was dried due to intense heat. we reached bari to know that bari is starting point for Kalsubai
as per our plan: we had planned for trek to Ratangarh + night stay at ratangarh + trek to kalsubai.
but as shendi which was base village for Ratangad was 20 km away from bari, so we dropped plan for ratangarh and instead decided that we will do kalsubai today and ratangarh tomorrow.

meanwhile as we were stuffed in jeep, I sat in wrong place, I couldnt get a air to breath, so I was feeling nausea, so when I got down, I could stop and I vomitted whatever I ate at Rajur. after that I had a tea and banana, I felt somewhat better. then we started for trek, got a small boy from village as a guide as we wanted to get down early so that we can start for ratanwadi same day in the evening. it was 2pm when we started walking, in first phase there were no trees, too much heat was there. All were soon got exhausted, and we were taking break every 10-15 minutes.
For me, it was more tough as after vomitting I didnt have anything in my stomach, I was feeling powerless, even I was feeling that I can not complete this trek, and was thinking that I will sit down and let others go up. but I fought against that feeling and continued ,we were drinking water at every halt, after sometime we remembered that we have glucon d with us so, after eating glucon d we felt better, we continued our journey. after sometime,
we shaddow of hill started, and that was much better for us. so we continued, and just before there was a small well of water, and Man, that was real refresher, the water was refreshingly cold. and if we would have time, I could have had a bath there such a nice was that water.
so after drinking plentyful of water, fully recharged our batteries, It did take no time to reach at the top. And we reached to Highest peak(5400 feet) in sahydri ranges. it took has 3 hrs to climb the top. It was real satisfaction reaching , the Everest of Maharashtra. we sat there for while. Ate some food and then started back. On the way, Jignesh had a problem in his knee, and because of that, we came back very slowly. and it took 3 hrs
get down. after getting down, nagendra to complained about pain in his ankle. so we decided to ditch the plan for ratangad and instead decided to
see all the places like bhandardara lake, randha falls and konkankada on sunday.
we spent our night at bari, it was chilling cold there, we had a campfire and shared some stories.

then we went to see konkankada and MTDC resort. and at arnd 1pm we started for rajur and from rajur we got a bus back to pune at 3. reached pune at 8.30 pm..


So Trek was quite peaceful, but we decided that this is our last trek this season, and Ranjan Kumar now thinking of his new venture which is
Biking club. All the best ranjan kumar.

Bubble - I am bloggin it..:)

Transfer of vehicle to Pune from other state - updated on June 02/08

So after getting NOC from Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, Next step was to re-register bike in Pune, I needed to deal with RTO, Pune, Maharashtra, Compare to hyd RTO, I found pune RTO to be much clumsier, full of agents, no PRO to get information with. still able to get information about what to do.
When I went to RTO, I was surrounded by Agents, who were demandeing 2000 Rs apart from all other taxes. I think doing it yourself should be much better as it does gives you experience of working with government offices. also after doing all hard work while getting NOC from hyd, I thought this should be miniscule task. so Wanted to do it myself.
After enquiring further, I came to know that person called Mr. Pazze handles all matters about vehicle outside Maharashtra, So I went to him and He handed me a document listing all the following. He is key person in carrying out this whole work. He will describe you whole procedure with very cool head and seems to be quite nice guy.
  1. NOC from original state where vehicle belongs(in my case Hyd, AP). 2 copies original
  2. RC book original, registration card
  3. Vehicle Insurance
  4. Invoice receipt – vehicle purchase dealer receipt
  5. Entry tax , in case when you bring the vehicle before 30 months of registration date.
  6. Address proof where you are staying currently with photo
  7. Affidavit of non-stolen vehicle by registered owner
  8. Form. No 26,27, 20,33 . you will get these forms free at rto.
  9. Pencil chassis print – 5 original
  10. NOC from Police Commisioner pune.
  11. Registration fee- 320
  12. 7 % for invoice cost as registration
You can refund previous paid tax by applying at Hydrabad.
He asked me to get the affidavit on 20 Rs stamp paper. so I went outside, was inquiring abt affidavit, one person demanded me Rs 200 per affidavit and I asked some other person he was taking 100 Rs so I asked him to do the work. so while having conversation with him, I came to know that He also had reregistered his vehicle but through agents and in turn paid quite big amount to get the work done, he was happy knowing that I am doing work myself not through RTO agent.
In pt. 10. to get NOC from Police Commisioner pune., you need a letter from RTO. You will get this letter from Mr. Pazze, after showing him all the above docs, after verifying docs, he will give you a letter from RTO to Commissioner of police, You need to give it in Commissioner of police office with xerox of NOC from hyd, and residential proof. and after 7 working days you will get the NOC from Pune police. The concerned person is Mr. Chavan. He will issue you NOC in 10 minutes, if everything is ok.
Then you need to submit all of above docs to Mr. Pazze and he will check the things and you need to get assessement done from counter 30/31( i think). then after getting how much amount you need to pay, you need to pay tax at counter 23/24 (i think..). and then re submit docs along with receipt of tax payment to Mr. Pazze. He will ask you to see him after 1 and half months.
So till now, it took around 2 weeks to get this much work done.
So finally I got my docs back from RTO officer, after that I had to go to alandi office to acquire a sign from RTO officer who checks the vehicles and gives you back the paper which takes 1 hours.
Now I need to give this docs back to RTO and get New maharashtra registration number and then apply for tax refund from hyderabad office.
I have written this blog in 2007. RTO procedure might have underwent some changes. if any of you go to RTO and find something is changed, I do request you to add comment or post link to your blog to help people who read this blog.
please post comments, if you have any queries. also if you know anything more than whats written here, please let us know. we would like to hear from you.

Harishchandra gad in winter

So harishchandra gad again...my longtime wish to visit HC gad in winter.
as last time we went in monsoon and we couldnt see much from top and that was like we went running to top and came down running. but that was different fun, trekking in heavy rain.
but Trekkin in winter was chill experience too. actually i can say it was mismanaged affair, none of the thing we planned did go well, starting from catching bus to nashik till we came back but its altogether different fun of making decisions when everything goes wrong and I think in every trek I experienced same thing but this was peak..
excerpts are like this..
getting into crowded bus then waiting for 2 hrs at strange place called aale phata and eating whatever we can get at that strange place then getting into a bus with our lives on stakes of bus drive who should better be in F1 race rather than recruited to run a state transport bus..such horrible was that drive...then walking 6-7 km at 1am in night and sleeping (or say trying to let time go in midst of ranjank's deadly snores)for 2 hrs...then starting for trek at 4.30 in the morning ...in half sleep condition ...then that superb feelings of being at top of the world after reaching to
taramati point and fun at konkan kada. and who can forget never ending journey back to base village...and most crazy thing I did with rakesh when we were in no condition that I cant even take next step with soaring lengs, then somehow I asked rakesh, "can he run?" then he didn't believe , asked me again, i confirmed , we started running ..and we ran damn more than 1 km, I think I could have run any distance to return to khubi phata..
