So I had this excel sheet of contacts registered for an event. It was to be imported as a contact list in google contacts, but the attendees' name columns had all typed in uppercase. And I hate uppercase in contact list. IT UNNECESSARILY MAKES THE LIST LOOK SO BIG AND LONG.... Hence I was looking for that classic button "Aa" to change cases, just like in MS Word. But after wasting some time I realized that it is not there in MS Excel. Does MS think that no one would need this facility in MS Excel? How foolish? What to do now? So I just 1. copied the names column in MS Excel 2. copied it in MS Word 3. changed the case and 4. copied from MS Word and pasted it back to MS Excel in the same column That did the work, easily! but the wrong way ! But wait, how can MS be so stupid to include this simple thing in one product but not in other, while both products deal with large amount of text? I wanted to find out, and then I found out! Some great mathematician...

Ok, so i had been thinking about it since a long time... whether to migrate to Kuvera from Coin  for my direct mutual funds investments. The reasons: (1) Coin/Zerodha charges ₹300 Annual fee + ₹50 per month, whereas Kuvera is completely free (2) Kuvera makes investment recommendations suitable to investor's risk appetite and investment objectives. This is completely missing in Coin. Both reasons were compelling, but I wasn't sure of the hassle it would require to move existing mutual fund investments to Kuvera platform. Then today, I see this on my Coin dashboard: I then read more about it here:  https://zerodha.com/z-connect/featured/coin-is-now-completely-free And it made me happy to save ₹600 per year for direct mutual fund investments. (Well, the August 2018 fee is already deducted, so the savings start from September 2018) Now, reason (2) still holds true, I hope Coin addresses that too. 😛 Of course Zerodha has an added advantage of a linked trading/de...

Ok, heard the smallest joke ever, which made me laugh until my stomach ached. The joke is: मासूम बीवी 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Enjoy!

I was really confused until a colleague explained it to me! So here it is, in extremely simple terms: Block Storage: Application/user reads/writes blocks, constructs file itself. E.g. normal hard drive or SAN storage. File Storage: Application/user reads/writes a particular file path in its entirety (typically using SMB/NFS/FTP/HTTP protocols) without worrying about the filesystem where it is stored. E.g. A block storage mounted as NFS on a remote server is a file storage for that remote server. Object Storage: Application/user reads/writes a particular file without worrying about where it is stored in the directory hierarchy. The access is always made to the basename of the file in question. The object storage has to locate the file and provide access. Typically this is done by storing the SHA of file as well. The file is always located using this SHA value. This also implies that any change in the file contents results in a new SHA value and hence the object storage treats as stor...

I have been facing this error so often now. Whenever I am logged into a remote machine in a screen session, the vim doesn't work. $ vim /etc/bash.rc error vim terminal: capability "cm" required After some research, I could fix it as follows. When this or any other error comes up while using vim in a screen session, first immediately check what is TERM set to. In my case, it was xterm-screen $ echo $TERM screen.xterm-256color Change it as follows and you should be good to use vim without any issue. $ export TERM=xterm $ echo $TERM xterm Now, vim works like charm. 👐

Many NGOs came forward to restore life and provide essentials to Kerala flood victims. While a few NGOs and some Bollywood starts made headlines in the media, there were many NGOs and individuals who worked silently to help the needy. One such case is of ISKCON Trivandrum. The first truck carrying food materials for 5000 people, 3000 litres of water, blankets, medicines left to Tiruvalla. 12 member team including a doctor and a pharmacist accompanied the truck. We thank police department to provide us the truck. We pray that these volunteers should reach safely sailing the floods to the destination. Also distribution of food started in local camps by ISKCON devotees. - temple management  I am proud to be have played a small role in this with some financial contribution. Two teams from Mumbai and Chennai equipped with kitchenware have set up base in Vaidnar, 100 Km from Kochi, to p repare and serve fresh and nutritious khichdi meals for over 2,200 people daily. -  ...

Wow!!! I and Shweta have launched it at http://insidelinuxkernel.blogspot.com/ successfully, after much thinking. The second post (which will be the first kernel related post) has already taken shape. We are looking forward to a good learning with great fun. Wish Us Luck…

It has been a significant time since I had started studying Linux kernel . I started at about the beginning of the year and till now I have not got confidence on the subject. Something is missing. Proper guidance for sure and may be the discussions also. The only mate I have got for discussions is Shweta, and having started recently, she also doesn’t know much. The other problem is with my memory. I had thought of preparing notes but... when I start writing, every line of the book seems worth noting down. Now thinking of writing a technical blog on whatever I learn in Linux Kernel, but haven’t locked that idea yet. May be, that way I would be able to arrange my thoughts properly. Explaining something always helps one to learn more. Because the thinking one develops on something while explaining, he never develops while reading himself. The idea sounds good, but far-easier said than done. What to write about, how to write about, who to seek help from and the most important thing is how ...

Some time ago, somehow I got interested in studying Linux kernel. Credit goes to Shweta , whenever I talked to her, she explained me some kernel stuff. More than me, AirTel should be thankful to her for talking half of the time about that crazy kernel stuff (Seriously, I thought I should talk to her less frequently now). And if that was not enough, at the end of almost each conversation, I had to face a question from her, when would I start studying Linux kernel? :o No, No. This question was not THAT bad. Actually, I had started getting serious about her kernel learning. Not that she forcefully made me to do this, I only used to keep her telling that I also want to study Linux kernel (may be, to shut her up when she forgot to take a break talking about it 15-20 mins nonstop). But every time I said so, I used to keep one excuse ready to escape and that is what irritated her. After all, two months of intentional procrastination ended when I became a little free from the project work. Any...

During my childhood, as a family trip we were visiting a well known temple in Himachal Pradesh. While I was moving away after praying, a pujariji came and said, “kuchh chadhao”. I looked at him, wondered, and said, “mere paas toh kuchh nahi hai”. Seeing that my parents were outside and no one was close to us, he stared at me with his big-red eyes and almost shouted, “kahan se aaya hai”? I was so scared that I couldn’t stand there for just a second. I just ran! They say, “GOD is everywhere”… but I doubt because if that’s true, then what purpose do temples serve here? And if HE lives in temples, how can HE be everywhere? Why one has to go to a temple (or a mosque or a church for that matter) for prayers? A confusing cycle of questions… and these questions arise in my mind due to these incidences, which often take place with one while visiting temples. In another recent incidence, while doing parikrama in a famous temple in AP, a pujariji came to me, put a small pudiya in my palm and...
