Tirumala darisanam

2011-12-08T16:19:00.001+05:30

Knowing or unknowingly I wished few things to do before I die, one among them was to climb Tirumala by walking along the foot steps. I reached tirupathi on a Wednesday noon, got a local bus till alipiri, walked to the entrance of footpath, which was like a small underpass. Devotees removed their slippers and break coconut to start the journey. Total climb distance is around 11km. First leg of

இந்தியாவில் ஆக்டபஸ் பாலி

2010-07-23T20:09:00.000+05:30

இப்பதிவில் ஆக்டபஸ் பால் என்பதற்கு பதிலாக, பாலி என்று ஒரு சவுகிரியத்திர்காக உபயோக படுத்தி உள்ளேன். கால்பந்து உலகக் கோப்பயில் வெற்றி பெரும் அணியினை துல்லியமாக கணித்து, அனைவரின் பாராட்டும் பெற்ற ஆக்டபஸ் பாலி இந்தியாவில் சுற்றுபயணம் மேற்கொள்கிறது ( தொடரும் செய்திகள் அனைத்தும் கற்பனையே!!!) சுற்றுப்பயணத்தின் முதல் கட்டமாக, தில்லியில் மரியாதை நிமித்தமாக, சோனியா, மன்மோகன் சிங் ஆகியோரை சந்திக்கிறது.

Trip to shirdi

2010-07-19T15:18:00.001+05:30

I was ignorant about the fact that shirdi sai and puttaparthi were quite different. Shirdi sai baba was born in a hindu family and adopted by a muslim fakir, he lived in shirdi and helped lot of people from their distress, his miracles were not magical but of help to those in need. As I got to know about shirdi sai baba I thought of visiting. Inspite of my plan with ksrtc ,it turned different

கிணறு

2010-07-13T09:47:00.003+05:30

நகர வாழ்க்கையில் காணாமல் போன விஷயங்களில் ( சிட்டு குருவி உட்பட ) ஒன்று கிணறு. இன்றைய மோட்டார் பம்புகள் முந்தைய வரலாறை பாப்போம். பண்டைய ( என்னிடம் சான்று இல்லை ..ஆராய்ய்சிக்கு உட்பட வேண்டியது ) காலகட்டத்தில், ஆறோ, குளமோ வெட்டி நீர் நிலைகளை மக்கள் உபயோகித்து வந்தனர், பின்னர் பெரிய கிணறுகளை வெட்டி ஊர் மக்கள் உபயோகித்து வந்தனர். பொதுவாக வயல் பரப்புகள் நடுவே இக் கிணறுகளை காண முடியும், பாசனத்துக்கும்

Critical to Success

2010-05-11T17:13:00.000+05:30

Often heard this term CTQ ( Critical to Quality) but seldom we concentrate on Critical to Success of a software project or program This again varies based on the kind of company, Services or a Product Company. Product Companies are more focused on Technology, Market leadership in delivering high quality,value products. Key areas for a product company include but not limited to 1.Technology

If you can't feel it how can you build it??

Assume you are asked to design/develop a Microwave oven. Of course, now with plethora of existing products in market and with the help of Google,Wikipedia you can come up with a new Microwave oven with new features. But can you think of the person who first did it?? How he would have envisaged it? He would feel the need of it. Necessary is the mother of invention as we know. One of the

An Ideal World

2010-05-10T14:50:00.000+05:30

We are all living with uncertainties, yet we expect a Ideal World. I am not getting philosophical though, this post is mostly on building an ideal environment for a Software Professional. Every job has a typical set of requirements/expectation, unlike software. In my personal opinion, s/w jobs are most sought after and most dis-organized. 3 or 4 yrs of college education doesn't prepare well for

Abstraction/Porting Layers

2010-05-03T15:09:00.000+05:30

No this post is not going to be as abstract as you think ;) Why Abstraction? Simple straightforward - interview type answer is. To provide portability - seamless integration across various OS and Platform. Can we dissect the statement??? Portability -- You can have this software running on any piece of box containig a processor and Operating system. Seamless -- sartorial term eh? how

Visit to Ahobilam

2010-01-24T19:13:00.000+05:30

Trip to Ahobilam On the day of Pongal, instead of lazi-ly watching TV programs, my father and I hatched a plan (???) to Visit Narasimha kshetrams of Ahobilam. Except knowing the name and geography ( its in Andhra Pradesh) we started our journey at around 4 PM from Bangalore. A google search of the place and visit information from earlier blogs and a rough road route from google maps we started

Lateral Thinking over lunch?

2009-09-05T12:18:00.000+05:30

Recently as a Team, we went to Buffet Lunch. As in many places, soups and starters were served on the table. Once this formality was over, every one rushed to grab the plate for the main course, one of my colleague went directly to the Dessert/Ice-creams section and started his lunch. Out of curiousness i asked, "Are you on Diet or something?", "No, I see much crowd on the main course area, so
