Robert Tappan Morris

If you are technology guy or IT guy or hacker, you know the name of "Morris Worm" which was the first computer worm(computer malware program to replicate itself in order to spread to other computers).

Creator of Morris Worm is Robert Tappan Morris (who was student of Cornell University). As per him, the worm was written to understand the size of the Internet but not to damage computer. But it did opposite and shutdown thousands of computers that resulted financial loss. This incident also got significant media attention.

Floopy Disk contains source code of Morris Worm

Computer History Museum held the floppy disk that contains source code of Morris Worm. Today it is also available in the Internet and you can download and see the code from the Github(https://github.com/arialdomartini/morris-worm) .

++The Battle of Kindle++
+++++++++++++++++++

I was trying to add some .mobi files on my Galaxy On 7 Prime Android smartphone to read them on the Kindle(ebook reader) app but suddenly it got crahsed. I lost the Kindle app. OMG !!

Smartly, I tried to reinstall again from Google Play store but it was throwing below error. I tried multiple times with multiple reboots of device but same error.

"You Cannot Install this app because another user has already installed an incompatible version on this device."

But I got my Iron Man to rescue me from this issue. He is "ABD"...No..No..he is not cricketer. Sorry for typo.He is ADB(Android Debug Bridge). With the help of below command line from my Windows laptop, I successfully removed the Kindle. I rebooted the phone and tried to reinstall the Kindle.

BOOM!! It worked. I got my Kindle back on my smartphone. ADB the hero.

What you need to perform this fix:

1) Hardware
a> Windows 7 or 10 OS laptop/desktop
b> USB cable

2) Software:
a>ADB installed on Windows laptop

3) Enable Debug Setting on Android Smartphone and allowed it while plugin the device to Windows laptop/desktop

4) Command to remove the Kindle:

adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.kindle

Marshmallow Low Volume issue fixed !!

2016-08-20T08:27:00.005-07:00

Problem: You get Android Marshmallow OS upgradation notification in your Android mobile phone. Feel Happy !! and you quickly upgrade your existing Lollipop OS to Marshmallow OS.

Download done, Installation done. You reboot the mobile phone and after reboot, you check all settings and files. All are intact and new added feature that you can see and use except one DISASTER !!..What?? Yes. You open your OS build music player or player like Musixmatch or VLC media player and listen your favorite song. You feel that the OS up gradation has damaged your EARS !!...OMG !!...No....Wait !! Cool !!...Thats not true. Your ears are fine. Reality is Marshmallow has changed the audio settings in such a way in some phones,it causes audio level to minimum that you can't hear the songs that way you used to listen earlier before upgradation. You become smart and you maximize the volume but still you can't hear that loud sound that you used to hear below 50% volume range.

Now what to do ?? There are many solutions out there in the Web but those not might work in your case. If you cant root your device (worrying the license issue), you are in deep trouble. But...just relaxed. I too faced this issue and tried all those so called "fixes" in my un rooted Samsung Galaxy J7 (2015 edition) device and I fixed the issue myself and that fix is...

Solution: You may think that I am joking but let me tell you that by installing POWERAMP Media Player, the problem of low volume while playing music was gone.

You need to install the Poweramp music player. After that go to the Equalizer and increase the value of 'PREAMP' to maximum. Adjust the EQ as per your hearing capacity. Thats it. Now listen your favorite songs in Poweramp and you will get more than what you were getting during Lollipop phase.

You Me and Rinzen !!

The date 22nd April 2016 we(me and my wife Menuka) always remembered in our life when we blessed with baby girl. It was a happiest moment in our married life.

I was waiting outside the OT in hospital and doctor came and informed me that we were blessed with baby girl. It was one of happiest moment in my life. After sometime, I was allowed to touch my baby for some second(then she was shifted to Nursery by hospital nurses) . When I hold my baby in my hand, it was an amazing experience and was proud to become a happy father.

I was with my wife and baby for 6 days in hospital(Medica North Bengal Clinic,Pradhan Nagar,Siliguri) to look after wife and baby. Since then ,days passed and now, our baby turned into three months and we are lucky to have such a wonderful and cute baby girl.

Earlier I was thinking to give desi name to our baby, later my wife suggested to give 'Tamang' name and we finally selected 'Rinzen' (meaning 'the holder of intellect') and same was agreed by Lama(Priest in Buddhism).

Since last 3 months, my wife is taking care of her(wife is in official leave) and I went home to see my wife and baby twice in a month and spent memorable days with them. I am really thankful to God for blessing beautiful baby and thankful to my wife who is taking care Rinzen and giving mother's love, comfort, protection and support.

Here are couple of unforgettable moments....You(Wife)...Me(Myself) and Rinzen(My daughter).

08032013: My Maiden March Mumbai Mission

2013-03-19T09:34:00.001-07:00

Beautiful view of Hotel Taj

I will never forget the date 08032013 when I touched the land of Marathas the Mumbai.From my childhood, I had a dream to visit the most happening metro city of India i.e. Mumbai. Not only Mumbai is a historical place but its the place where Bollywood exists,which creates hundreds of Indian cinema annually that touches billions of Indian hearts world wide.

I am really thankful to my wife because due to her, my maiden visit came to reality. As she is working in Mumbai as Immigration Officer(under Home ministry,Govt. of India), I was looking for a vacation since 2012. Due to office work, my expectation elasticated and extended to 2013.Finally got chance to visit on 08032013.

Haji Ali

Wanna eat Vada pau?

At Boot house

Indigo flight 6E-404 landed at Chhatrapati Shivaji Internation airport. I took a cab at around 2240 and reached Mahim within 15 minutes.I was excited and not believing myself that I reached Mumbai. My wife was waiting for me at her house in Mahim. Finally we met in Mumbai. I spent 4 days and all those days were life time experiences. I visited Haji Ali, Green garden,Hanging Garden,Gateway of India,Taj hotel,Sanjay Gandhi National park, Juhu beach,Elephenta Island,Marine drive, Shivaji park,Siddhi vinayak temple,Bandra and Bandstand.I satisfied myself with famous Vada pau,Bhaji pau and colorful gola at Juhu beach.I found Mumbai a good place to live. Weather was good.Sitting with your loved one at Marine drive in evening is just awesome. Cool breeze from Arabian sea relaxes one's mind completely.View of South Mumbai including Chowpatty, Marine drive from Hanging garden view point was just amazing. I was feeling like I was in New York.Evening walk at Juhu beach, touching cold 'Gola' with your l lips,seeing sunset and sand art by local artist were just amazing. I was not believing myself that I was in front of house of Shah Rukh Khan when I reached Bandstand. Just watching 'Mannat' in front of TV and sitting in front of his house in reality is totally different. Other may don't surprise by such comparison but for me it matters because Mannat realizes about hard work of a middle class guy. Bandstand is amazing place.It faces beautiful Arabian sea and surrounded by houses of celebrities including SRK and Salman. I also saw one of world's costliest home i.e. Antilia(home of Mukesh Ambani) when we were heading toward Hanging garden.I also traveled in the famous 'Mumbai local train'. From my wife house, Mahim station is just few meter away. Mumbai local train coaches are far better than local trains of other cities. Coaches are neat and clean.

My wife helped me a lot and made my maiden visit memorable. I skipped visit to Essel world and Water kingdom due to ill health of my wife after 3 days of "Rush hours" in different places of Mumbai.On 12032013, we stayed at home till afternoon and visited Siddhi Vinayak,Shivaji Park and Bandra in evening as those places are nearer to Mahim. Mumbai was so amazing that I was not in position to leave the place.But office was calling me and I had to leave the place on 13032013.Indigo flight 6E-319 leaved Mumbai at 0745 and landed in Kolkata at 1000.

Really,I agree that Mumbai is the "Mahanagari". The place which was scared by 93 communal riots and serial bomb blast, 26/11 terrorist attack but she is glowing and spreading happiness to her residents throughout 365 days.Whenever you make a plan to visit Mumbai, add following in your "MUST DO" list:

1. Relax at Marine drive. Sip cup of tea and feel cool wind.

2. Amazing Gateway of India and hotel Taj

3. Make you legs wetty at Juhu beach,taste famous Vada pau or Bhaji pau,have cold 'Gola' and walk for a mile.

4. Boat ride in Arabian sea and travel to Elephanta island.

I bet you that you will be on Cloud no. 9 when you visit Mumbai.

Norah Jones:my f@vb@r@8 singer

2013-02-25T06:32:00.003-08:00

She is not Lady Gaga or Beyonce or Britney spears,she is one and only Norah Jones who's unique voice makes me happy and I fill heaven in the Earth!.She neither scream nor make any noise,she only sings a song that makes you fall in love.It was year 2002 when I first came to know her name when I purchased a disk of Grammy Nominees album.The album had her album "come away with me".At that time, I didn't play her songs 'cus I was seek of pop singers.Guys,same year Norah won five Grammy Awards for her album.Well after 5 years,in 2008, I was randomly searching music videos in Youtube and saw video 'Thinking about you' of her and played it. From that day I am thinking about her songs every single day and play any of her song when I am free.

Frankly sharing my feeling,Norah is my favorite singer not for her 'Indian connection' or her preety face.Her soothing and unique voice are reasons to put her name in top of my favorite singer list.She is a versatile singer who not only deliver mesmarizing voice but can play many insturments like Guitar,piano etc. andshe is PRO on those insturments.

Many of us know Late Pandit Ravi Shankar,Indian sitar maestro and International musician, who died recently.But few of us know that 9 times Grammy winner Norah is his second daughter.Now you understood why I was saying 'Indian connection'. She had not a good relation with her father as Ravi shaker left her mom(Sue Jones) and lived in India with his current wife.Until recently she started building good relationship with her father and I hope Pandit was happy to see his daughter sitting by his side before he died.

I like all her songs and few of them I like to listen again and again.'Happy Pills','Thinking about you','Come away with me','Chasing pirates','Sunrise' and 'Don't know why' are evergeen and really touch your heart.

Im gonna really miss her upcoming concerts at all major metro cities,except Kolkata,in India which will start from 2nd March.We all looking for your sweet and soothing voice in coming days. Long live Norah.

Guys,here is one of her best song. Play it.I am sure you will fall in love.

"Thinking about you"

I am 1 year old husband

2013-02-21T07:06:00.003-08:00

I am thanking God a million times and more for making me so lucky to be the husband of such a wife like you.

I am 1 year old husband.

Don't click them | Support them

2013-02-14T02:22:00.000-08:00

Clicked!!!!
"Nice one"..Ram smiled

He saved and shared the picture in social network sites and forgot everything about the subject he clicked. Isn't this kind of exploitation? This is a fashion,not passion for new generations.A fashion to take picture of needy people just to get "wah bhai wah" from others. Passion to support those needy people is just a "kisko furshad hain..yeh sab bakwas ka".

Lets take time from our busy life and forward a step to support needy people in our surrounding. Clicking photo of them is just a "time pass" and to show your photograpy skills to others.Isn't it? Ask your soul.

" I hate Pakistan

but

I love Songspk.pk"
(someone from India tell another friend about the 'dirty truth')

Like Android cellfone is becoming popular day by day, website 'songspk.pk' also becoming popular in India Ask why? Becuase website releases latest Bollywood songs before release of movie in the market. We find people running "Teri Jhuki Nazar" of Murder 3 in their cellfones and laptops. Asked them about the source. Answer is common-"songspk.pk". We don't pay Rs. 100/- to buy original albums from Market rather we prefer to download songs free of cost from Songspk.pk. Ignoring that we are supporting piracy.

Let me aware all of you about the website.I ran tracert to know the hosted source of songspk.pk and found that its Czech Republic. The .pk is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Pakistan. I've Googled and found the following detail:

Owner Company Name : FunMaza
Owner Person : Tayyab Javaid
City : Lahore
Country :Pakistan

Some claim that Pakistani hackers have created this website to give "free gift" in the form of Bollywood song and attack those connected computers(downloading songs from songspk.pk) in India to steal important data.

My actual motive to write this post not to discuss about details of 'songspk.pk'. Its all about tryin' to ask ourselves about our own thinking attitudes and about our views against Pakistan. We hate the place Pakistan but we love free songs provided by songspk.pk.

Hey!!! someone from India love "Teri Jhuki Nazar" of Murder 3 downloaded from songspk.pk of Pakistan.

Following Russinovich | A Windows geek

2013-01-14T11:12:00.000-08:00

It was year 2008 and I found cool tool called TCP view using which I can change many of TCP settings in a Windows box.Later day I found Process Explorer which was much more informative than built-in setting of Windows to check its running processes in Windows operating system.

I loved TCP view and Process Explorer so much that I was excited to know the creator of these tools. Using the Google, I got the details of the owner withing few seconds. He is non other than, Mark Russinovich who is co-founder of famous website Winternals.com which was later acquired by the Microsoft.

He is currently working as Technical fellow in Microsoft. Russinovich came to media attention many times including 1996 discovery of change in registry settings in Windows NT that allow Backoffice to install in the desktop OS,2005 discovery of Sony Rootkit and 2006 discovery of Windows metafile vulnerability.He also wrote two novels i.e. Zero Day and Trojan Horse.

Welcome 2013: 365 days of life experience

2013-01-13T11:37:00.001-08:00

WELCOME 2013

Time will never stop for anyone and will continue moving. Year 2012 has gone and we already stepped into new year 2013.Within last 365 days, we all have experienced life in different ways. Some were good and some were bad.We left the year 2012 and were so busy in man made competition that most of us forgot that we are after all human beings,not machines made for winning a competition.

We all started 2012 carrying little fear of 21 Dec 2012 which was declared as last day of survival of human beings in the Earth.If 21st Dec of 2012 was last day then I wouldn't get a chance to continue my blog updated in 2013.After all we survived and continuing our lives in 2013.Last year we came across different events around the World.Some made us proud as human beings and some made us thinking that we are worst than animals.

Gangnam Style

In America, people were shocked due to murder of world renowned singer Whitney Houston where as people also shook their hips in Gangnam Style which spread like a viral flu.Middle east converted in war zone,killed many people and source of all these problems in Middle East saw its president Obama retained the World's most powerful seat for second time.America topped Olympic 2012 and our country,for the first time,won highest number of medal where female athletes(Nehwal and Kom) were top performers.So called Luzsec hackers hacked many websites and networks and force to think that the Internet is no more safe now.

Anonymous hacker

Felix Baumgartner taught us that there is nothing called impossible when he set record of highest ever fall from Space.We also saw launches of electronic devices like iPhone 5, Galaxy Nexus and Microsoft surface.Samsung was fined 1 billion dollar for violation of copy rights and Apple,who dragged Samsung in the court,was finally took a deep breath of relief.Microsoft lunched its most waited cloud ready operating system Windows 8 and also released Server 2012.

Flex's fly from sky

In India, there were many importand events took place. Pranab Mukherjee was appointed as new President of India.Country lost people like Pandit Ravi Shanker, Yash Chopra,Bal Thakre and Dara Singh.One of accused of 26/11, Ajmal was hanged.Indian saw almost peaceful days in 2012 until entire country was shocked when people of India heard the new of brutal gang rape of a medical student by six men in Delhi where victim was declared dead after few days of struggle in hospital.

Protest against Delhi rape

People were killed in the name of religion,died in natural calamities in every corner of the World but most of us still continue our lives as usual forgetting everything. Because we learn from the past that if we slow down in the so called 'fast life', some another will win the race.So we follow one and only one formula i.e. "Bhag D K Bose Bhag".

We warmly welcome 2013 and made different kinds of resolution in order to maintain speed in the race,to make ourselves happy. But did we make any resolution where we committed our lives to make others' lives happy and peaceful? Have you committed yourself that you will come out of the world of "I" and "Myself" and think at least a day for spreading happiness so that others too can think that there are people who are still alive and think for betterment.Ask yourself?

The Earth is growing older day by day. People are eating her given resources faster than ever. People only know 'how to get?' and forget 'what to give?'.Life was simple earlier but human beings made it so complex that we are slowly getting trapped in this complex world and will never come out of it.Only thing we can do is to sacrifice our few minutes and think about lives of others, think how to make the Earth a better place to live.Our tiny steps for mankind from all of us will change the world.

Lets live for others, make our society a better place to live,give respect to woman and protect them,kill hate and evils from your heart and spread love and peace. With our fresh and broad minds, let make 365 days of 2013 memorable days.

Thanks for reading this post.Request you to play below video(sang by 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson).If you like this post, please drop your valuable comments.

NSS "Bawal" picnic party: Unforgetable memory

2012-12-17T01:36:00.000-08:00

We,NSS,work hard throughout the year and refreshment is a medicine that is required to energize the fatigue muscles and brain neurones. NSS Kolkata decided to go for a refreshment and picnic party was finally decided at Nirala Resort in Deulti(under district East Medinipur). Deulti is a historical place and centre of attaction for house of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay(novelist and famous for writting 'Devdas').

House of Sarat Chandra

It was 8th December(saturday) and we started our journey from Cognizant TCPX facility with two buses carrying NSS members. We reached the spot at around 11AM. After minutes of relaxation, few of us started having -OH products Royal Challenge Whisky and Smrinoff Vodka without satisfying the stomach with breakfast.

Seeing them,most of other male counterparts also joined the group.As energy level started raising, Mrinal Sir, as usual, asked us to dance.We danced, we shook legs, we moved hips as never before, we jumped, we screamed, we did " Latka and Jhatka" and we did "Bawal".After an hour of non stop adrenalized dance,we went to swimming pool. We continued bawal there too. Some were pushed, some jumped, some kicked,some dived,some broke nose, some slipped and some vomitted but we didn't noticed and enjoyed colorful water in swimming pool. WoW!!!

Bawal dance with Mrinal sir

After an hour of swimming, we all headed for lunch. Most of male counterparts didn't ate the lunch as we were not in normal conditions to move our hands and also there were no space in our stomach to add extra. Few ate but poor quality of food was aired later. After lunch, I didn't remember anything for atleast one hour as I took rest to cool down myself.

We all gathered at around 6PM after lunch and post lunch bawal and left the beautiful place. Really it was an awesome and bawal picnic party.For me it was best official picnic till date in my professional career.

Madira Paan

It was due to energetic and vivaciuos NSS senior members like Mrinal Sir,Sushanta Da and Suman da, NSS picnic party 2012 was awesome and an unforgetable. We all enjoyed a lot and finally returned to our places safely.

Finally looking forward for NSS picnic party 2013..and..countdown begins...

21st Jan = 23rd Nov

2012-11-24T05:37:00.000-08:00

Mail came to my official inbox, I was wished by my office colleagues. Reason?? Its 23rd Nov and my "documented birthday". I surprised by all those greetings but its true that my documented aka official birthday is 23rd November. Its way years old history when I joined school and my date of birth was registered as 23rd November and from then 23rd Nov is registered in all official docs as my birth date.

I always remember this year's documented birthday as it was my first official birthday.Not only my office colleagues Pintu Da,Atanu,Tuhin,Debabrata and Kaushik were there with my to celebrate the B day but CITRIX employees also joined @ Swrils.

Actually my real birthday is 21st January and I am looking forward to celebrate the day with friends in 2013.
So can I say 21st Jan = 23rd Nov?

Chennai-My first visit to South India

2012-07-09T12:16:00.004-07:00

Never think of visiting southern part of India but after joining Cognizant got a chance to go to Chennai ,the capital of Tamil Nadu, on 01072012.for IT training on Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure.

It was Sunday of 1st July when office cab took me upto Dum Dum domestic airport. We had flight from Kolkata to Chennai which was departed @ 1815PM. Me and my another colleague Mr. Mithun Debnath reached in Chennai @ 2030PM. Thanks to Indigo Airlines that we reached before arrival time.Our respective cab drivers received us @ Kamraj Domestic Airport. We faced problem in communication with cab drivers as they were unable to speak in Hindi and I didn't expect better English from them.Although we managed to make them understand about our destination i.e. Shem Park guest house at Chemmenchery in Chennai.

We reached guest house after almost 1 hour journey in cab. Guest house was full furnished and living room was Air Conditioned.I slept early as I didn't want to reach late in our first day.We reached at right time but training started late @ 1130AM due to PC problem. Trainer named Sundar was very energetic and passionate about giving training.

In five days, I got a chance to visit World's 2nd longest beach i.e. Marina beach. After finishing the class, we took local bus and met Mithun's CTS friend. We three took another bus and reached Marina beach after long journey of 90 minutes. I didn't enjoyed as we reached the beach at nite.Next day we tried to visit T Nagar also but due to communication problem we cancelled the plan.On last day, office cab dropped us @ Kamraj Airport and by Indigo flight, we returned back to Kolkata on Friday 6th July.

People of Chennai are simple in outlook and girls and women wear traditional and simple clothes. Youths are not flowing with latest fashion trends.I liked the South Indian foods.Employees prefer office buses as mode of transportation and thereby there is less traffic in the OMR road and IT high way.

Hmm..may be few knows its meaning and history behind it. Lemme share the interesting fact and meaning behind the word Gopher. Here we go:

Gopher system(or protocol) is Application layer protocol for searching,retrieving and displaying docs over the Internet. It was released on 1991 by McCahill,Torey and Linder of University of Minnesota. It is named after school's mascot and also as in an assistant who's sent to "GO FOR" things.

Last day at Energetic FRPL

2012-05-26T01:43:00.003-07:00

I left my last company i.e. Energetic Financial Research Pvt. Ltd. on 12th May 2012(saturday) and I've joined new corporate world for new challenges with new team members and seniors.

At Pranic Healing Camp

With Team members

Those were unforgettable days with Dynamic Commodities Pvt. Ltd. and with Energetic Financial Research Pvt. Ltd. where I met some good friends, brilliant minds and some typical corporate KIDAs. It was 20th July 2010 when I joined Dynamic Commodities Pvt. Ltd. as System Executive and I exited with same designation. Learnt new technical stuffs from Windows OS to Linux within short peiod of 2 years.

With Shiv Khera

I met good friend like Amit Kumar, Saikat Bhattacharya, Praveen Arya(who later joined Accenture), Shrovan Bhangar(who also joined C2H Accenture),Indrajit Da,Vikash Jaiswal,Vikash Kandoi,Ritesh,Sumit and talented people like Joydip Das. Apart from my good friends, I always remembers senior people like Saibal Kanjilal(HOD),Arijit Chanda(AM),Swarnendu Deb,Seshadri S Das,Pradip Ghosh(Podu Da),Abhishek Banerjee(Notu Da),Mrinmoy Mondol("Bhai"),Debu Da,Irshad Bhai,Himadri(from client support), All HR team including Maya and Pinku,All finance team(specially Ashish ji,Rakesh and Manoj),Web development team,Pranic healing team and finally all G4S people from security to service.

During X-Mas time

I gathered loads of knowledge which helped me to developed personally and professionally. Most interesting part during my time at Dynamic and Energetic is that I,for the first time,came to know about Pranic healing. Company provides free of cost training for its employees to learn Pranic healing and its healing techniques. I got two free courses to learn i.e. Basic and Advance.Within few mothns of joining, I got opportunity to attend the well known public speaker Mr. Shiv Khera's 3 days training called 'Blue print of success' at ITC Sonar Bangla in Kolkata.Apart from learning and trainings, I enjoyed participating in Antakshari,in Pranic healing camps.

At new floor, we enjoyed a lot during Christmas. We all celebrated every event whether it is Christmas or Holi or Durga Puja.

During Picnic Party

I never forget the picnic on Jan 2011 with directors(Shridharji and Shekharji) of the company and that cricket match where our team was winner. Although Shekharji was not with us who died on Jan 2012, his good works, his down to earth character inspire everyone to be like him.

Whereever I go, I always carry sweet memories of Dynamic Group of Companies. May company flourish and grow more and more. Wish you all success and peaceful lives ahead.

IPL 2012: take your breath away

2012-05-14T11:57:00.001-07:00

Indian Premier League(IPL) Cricket tournament is pack of thriller,excitement and unexpected matches which is most entertainer than any other T20 tournaments.This year's IPL version is just amazing than ever. You find most of the match a "Paisa Vasool" and crowd love this kind of match rather than one sided match.

Just before start writting this post, Chennai Super King(CSK) lead by "Helicopter Baba" I mean MS Dhoni won match against Gauti's (Gautam Gambhir) team Kolkata Knight Riders(KKR) in "one ball match".CSK required 5 runs to win in just 1 ball and Bravo(of West Indies) hit hard the ball and sent it over the rope for SIX. What a climax?? KKR fans just dejected to see their team lost another match after one sided win by Mumbai Indians few days back.

How can we forget the inning of Roayl Challengers Bangalore's AB deVilllers(of South Africa) batting performance against Deccan Chargers when he smashed every ball of World's one of the fastest bowler Dale Steyn(of South Africa) for SIXES and FOURS to win match for his team. Same day, Mumbai India's Dwyane Smith(of West Indies) hit 6,6 and 4 in last three balls to register a win for his team.

Every Kolkata people who witnessed Pune Warrior's Steve Smith's(of Australia) boundary saver stunning dive never forget best ever fielding in the history of IPL.There are many stunning match winning innings, bit hitting and eye catching fielding in this IPL edition and above are my best till today. I think by end of this IPL season we will see more eye catching and mind blowing performance from cricketers.

I personally fill that IPL is not about Orange Cap or Purple Cap, its all about those batting innings or bowling performance or fielding performances that impress everyone in the stadium or at home sitting in front of TV/Computer.

Really this edition of IPL will take your breath away.

My first ever self made CBT

2012-02-09T12:16:00.000-08:00

After huge work pressure at office, no one wants to again sit with computer. But today I took few minutes to make my first ever CBT(Computer Based Training) video using Camtasia Studio installed in my PC.

Actually learning technology and sharing it with other make me happy so thought of making CBT videos. There are many topics to start with but I finally chose to create CBT on 'Microsoft loopback adapter' with no good reason ;)

Personally I feel that this video is not upto professional level but will work on it and improve soon so that I can share more interesting and attractive CBTs to all.

Thanks for reading this post. Below is di video..

Are we taking care of our mother?

2012-01-23T11:21:00.000-08:00

Are we taking care of our Mother? Its time to ask question to ourselves. Billions of years gone, have we ever ask that how much we love and care our mother? Mother who gave foods, water, clothes and shelter to survive and still providing all possible support to us so that we can feel warmth of the Sun every morning.

How much we love mother Earth? We have had created all possible comfortable items for our greedy needs.Every second, we bleed the Earth, we rape her feelings every time. We are so much greedy and selfish species that we learn only to take.We killed animals, cut down trees just for our selfish needs. There are countless murderers called humans living in the Earth who killed animals and trees and never realized that they are our families and due to them ecosystem is balanced and we are safe.

We called ourselves educated people but most of us have spent 15-16years to learn how to misutilize papers just to get single piece of paper(we called it education certificate). Lets say we've misutilized papers but in return have we given any thing to our mother.Have we calculate how indirectly we involve in mass destruction of trees in those 15-16 years?

Don't think of ocean water as backup after daily misuse of water. We think that gold, silver as precious items in our lives and forget about water. Do we want to see our deserted faces drinking drain water with full of bacteria? So we have to understand the importance of water.

Its like explaining environmental science to school going children but its true that in our competitive lives, we forget the importance of water,importance of environment. We invented many ways of creating energy and reached upto most dangerous Nuclear source of energy. I think most of us forgot last year nuclear hazard in Japan. The Earth is watching our activities. We make the Earth just a 'playground' to play with her feelings.She felt selfish feelings of human in past and still feeling same but intensity is more in present.

Natural process is not reversible and artificiality never last long.Natural process can't replaced by artificial process. If we enter into time machine and look back into our ancestors, they lived happy lives without cars, buildings, cellphones,laptops, motorcycle,aeroplane etc. Today we have all necessary and some unnecessary items with us but still we search for peace. Isn't shame for us? Our complex greedy lives pushing us to dead end but still we haven't recognize it. We believe in artificiality and try to show that we are happy with it.

We spent minimum of 8 hours in office but have we spent single minute for the Earth? Have we ever apologize for bleeding her every day and for punishing her every seconds? Human race is searching for better life but ultimately making life more miserable. We only think of short period of happiness,creating dark place for our future generations to live.

Lets try to understand the life of the Earth. She can't bear so much burdens of human race so long. We,humans, have utilized the resources found in the Earth in maximum amount but in return we show our empty hands to the Earth. Is this good practice? In our daily lives, we believe and practice 'give and take' rule then why don't we apply the same between the Earth and us. So its time to pay back and time to remove scar from the Earth that we made in past and still making in present.

Now question is how to payback? We are educated enough to understand the situation but we don't try to understand it. Its request to all that if we can't payback then don't hurt more.Lets revive life of the Earth by saving trees, planting trees and caring them, saving water, saving energy,stopping unnecessary wastage of energy,proper management of e-waste,stop killing animals unnecessarily and lot more. Little efforts from all people can make huge difference. Lets save the dying Earth before its too late.

I've found two short videos about the Earth in the youtube.com.Please play them once and try to realize the importance of mother Earth. Respect and care the Earth and lets give our time for building better place to live.

I personally like lines from song called "Heal the World" of Michael Jackson -"......Heal the World,make it better place..for you and for me and the entire human race...." .

Thanks for reading this post on importance of the Earth.If you find it worth reading then please comment.

Ubuntu simply rocks

2012-01-20T03:21:00.000-08:00

Yes I know this is not technical blog, but I can't control my feelings for Ubuntu when I tried its latest version 11.10. WoW!! its really cool and has extensive desktop features that I have never seen in any Linux OS.

I installed in my Oracle Virutal Box and when installation completed, my eyes were just staring on new desktop.

Hats off to all graphics programmers and kernel developers for building such cool stuff. Those who haven't try this latest version, lets Ubuntu do its SAMBA (download link: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download)
