A friend of mine, Integrator, recently pointed out that I have either written about love or about technology. And when I come to think of it, it is quite true to some extent. Though I have drafts on all sorts of topics ranging from education to money, from politics to bollywood. But none of them achieved the state of completion. Not because I don't want to, but because I believe I am too small a man to comment on the world's greatest problems. I, so terribly wanted to comment on the ayodhya issue, and about suresh kalmadi and common wealth games, and about arundhati roy but restrained because I thought "what difference is it going to make". However a quick retrospection told me that I, too, had given up hope. The hope that we will ever be the country Rabindranath used to talk about. The land Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high So today I decided to complete one such article. It's an old one. So bear with me. And thankfully, it's not...

While googling last night, I came across this wonderful quote by marlyn monroe : "I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." And yes, my conclusion says, yes, everything does happen for a reason. And there is a lesson to be learnt in every quest. The key is, to be able to recognize what the lesson is. I know that often times I do not recognize why something happened at first or why some person came into my life at the time they did. And why I could not continue to be with them. Why I could not make it to the future with them alongside. Sometimes it may be days, weeks, even months later that I can look at what happened and say “Ah ha! That is why that happened the way it did. Because if that hadn’t happened (w...

I PULLED my eyes from the dustry window of my room 005C, from the view of that wired-fence that wraps AIT, and watched my room-mate Sarkar, struggled to raise himself from his bed. It was 6 in the evening and he had had his length of the little evening nap. “You can’t get up, Dude.” I pressed my fingers into his shoulder, and he glared at me, his brown eyes wild with sleep. “What is Love ?”, I asked. Startled by this  Avatar , he replied, “It's too tricky. You won't understand.” Why would I not understand ? Am I too bad a thinker ? Or I am too bad a person ? He had just put me into deep retrospection. Am I different ? Or is it just because I think too much ? Or is it because I AM DIFFERENT ?  If I were asked to define and confine myself using only one term, I wouldn't hesitate long before I chose the word "geek." Not many in AIT would like to be called by that word, but I am what I am. And whether they agree or not, there are a lot of “me” out there, reading ...

AIT HACKERS ASSOCIATION is back. Fellow Hackers, Time, they say, is the most important asset in our fraternity. And I agree to the same in my full being. Agreed that we have not been in touch for a while, but DO NOT ASSUME IT AS OUR DEATH... mind you, "WE ARE ALIVE". Yes, we are damn alive and we have been working day in and day out to create stuff that you, the fellow hackers would love to be a part of. A) First and foremost, AHA, which was initially started as an informal student organisation has off-shooted itself into a formal registered club, by the name of Open Source Activities Centre. Visit : http://aitoss.net Congratulations everyone! B) Then, We have successfully completed designing of the new AIT College Website. The demo version is available at http://aitoss.net/beta So it is a humble request to all to visit it, and provide us with your valuable feedback. We can now boast of the best web facilities available for ourselves: 1. online project manageme...

Its been quite sometime that I haven’t posted here on my blog … Its not that I don’t think of writing or I care if anyone’s reading my posts or not … But the problem lies somewhere else … Almost everyday I open my blogging account , click on the write post link and as I am about to start typing I realise that I dont have anything to write about … And even if I have anything to write about I feel that its not worth writing here … This has become almost a routine activity nowdays … And steadily my desire to blog has been diminishing … Perhaps I should take sometime off blogging and when I feel that I have enough content worth writing , probably then I will start posting again … for the meantime, here's what's been eating my head. What is love? Its not really easy to put up in words but there will surely be instances in your life when you really have that extraordinary feelings for somebody, feelings that aren't easy to express, situations neither you or sh...

iCode : Do You Love Coding As Much As We Do ? for a demo : visit : http://inspirators.homelinux.net/iCode iCode is a GIT hosting facility, with custom administration tool and web interface. Thus iCode is much much ahead of being just a normal git server. I assume you have a decent knowledge of what GIT and version control is. In case you don't, here's the resource. http://git-scm.com Now, moving ahead. Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do. Pre-Installation Before starting, make sure that: 1. You already have a Ubuntu 9.04 installed on your server. 2. You have a working internet connection. The following instructions will guide you on how to set up and run a fully managed iCode for projects using git on your server. We assume a setup of 2 Computers. The SERVER and the MANAGER. On the SERVER 1. sudo apt-get in...

For those of you undergoing a similar condition as I was when I wanted to log in as root but did not have the root password on ubuntu. By default, the root password is set to some hash during the fresh install. so if you want to change it to your own, do the following. sudo passwd Type in the new password for root and you are done.

I am a Computer Engineer . I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "That guy is Cool". You're so right. I don't like to brag, too much, but I'll let you in on some details. I have many friends in chat rooms. I have excellent contacts but I prefer to wear glasses because they make me look so cool. Many women want me to fix their computers. I frequently get laid off. I know many languages: Java, C, C++. I travel to many exotic places in online games I'm into sports drinks. I collect fancy cars. Most are still in their original Hot Wheels packaging. I smell good so I don't shower very often because I don't want to ruin it. I have a black belt that I wear when I can't find my suspenders. I know that you're now thinking "I want to be that guy." But you can't. I was here first. Courtesy: an unknown blog with an unfamiliar name. Anyways, thanks. Prince Mishra Computer Engineer

Prince Mishra had his third exam today, and he found it AWESOME! The last two..well they were not nice at all and although I'm pretty sure I've passed, it won't be a triumphant pass! Today's paper went pretty well, I thought - there are a few places where I fudged a bit, but only a few. Again, it appears to be more a prize for memorizing past papers than it is an engineering exam, since the paper was almost identical in format to last year's, and the year before that - but, hey, I'm not complaining, since most of my revision is done with past papers. Thank you techmax, thank you brilliant jigar :) 

No, I did not misspell the Batman Superhit! its my way of describing the NIGHT before the exam! Yes, I have my CN exam tomorrow noon! I haven't yet read the chapters..and what do I have? 15 hours for 12 chapters..that's like 1.25 hours per chapter..60 pages an hour..1 page a minute...Completely doable ! No, I am not psyching out. I am not distressed. But why is it that on every night before the exam, I have to pray to God if he could just give me one more day! If... And the dark night hails on..
