if I had to do over again

Read this poem in some blog and it was precisely what was going through my mind then. Read through and enjoy! I Wouldn't Try To Be So Perfect ! -------------------------------------- If I had my life to live over again, I'd try to make more mistakes next time I wouldn't try to be so perfect. We all have perfection fetishes, what difference does it make,if you let people know you are imperfect? They can identify with you then. Nobody can identify with pefection. I would relax more,I'd be sillier then than I've been on this trip. Infact, I know very few things that I would take so seriously. I'd be crazier,I'd be less hygienic,I'd take more chances. I'd climb more mountains,I'd watch more sunsets. I'd go more places I've never seen. I'd eat more ice-creams and fewer beans. I'd have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones. You see,I was one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour and...

New Year Resolution

2004: I will get my weight down below 70. 2005: I will follow my new diet religiously until I get below 80. 2006: I will stop eating samosa, pakoda, parantha and sugar. 2007: I will go the gym five times a week. 2008: I will work out three times a week. 2009: I will take my resolutions seriously. 2010: 2010 will be the year I moderate my eating and work out regularly. 2011: I will make a dead serious new year resolution.

मै

यू तो फूल भी काफी हैं दर्द जगाने को, जख्मी हो मेरा दिल खार से ही, ये ज़रूरी तो नहीं ! ऐसा नहीं की गम मुझे होता नहीं, मुफलिसी में रोता रहूँ, ये भी ज़रूरी तो नहीं ! करने लगूंगा फिर से तुम्हारा ऐतबार दोस्तों ज़ख्म ताज़े हैं अभी, भरोसा अभी होता तो नहीं ! मंजिल तू इंतज़ार कर कि मैं आऊंगा ज़रूर मैं बस हारा हूँ रास्तों से... मगर लौटा तो नहीं ! मैं बस हारा हूँ रास्तों से... मगर लौटा तो नहीं !

I need only such a companion

A near and dear, to love and to hear, to listen and to tell, what's heaven and what's hell. To talk and to fight, on the wrong and the right, to understand and the absurd, something that's never heard. to shout and to laugh, to cut the sorrow into half, to stare and to share, and scare the nightmare. To improve and to expand, with someone who could understand, to grow and to desire, to aspire to move higher. To encourage and applaud, and increase the belief in God, to soothe and to smile, hand-in-hand walk-in mile, to dimple and to smile, and cross even exile. To think and to create, together our own fate, in the hot and the cold, the bonds that will hold, will save us from the sin, in the thick and the thin, showing my everlasting love to whom cries and tears never come, I NEED ONLY SUCH A COMPANION.

अनजान

एक बार मेरी नज़रों ने से पूछा, की तुम क्यों उन्हें देखकर नज़रें हटा लेते हो,  की जिसे तुम हर वक़्त सोचा करते हो  क्यों उस से मिलकर भी अनजान बने रहते हो? मैंने जवाब कुछ यूं दिया... "मै डरता हूँ की कहीं उनकी आँखों में देखूंगा तो सब कुछ भूल बैठूँगा, उनसे अगर मिल गया तो उनमे खो जाऊंगा, वो जब मुझसे अलग होंगे, तो मै खुद से रूठ बैठूँगा इसलिए,मै चुप हूँ की न हमारी बात हो, और जो हो भी जाए बात, तो फिर न मुलाकात हो"!

An Open Letter to Lalu Prasad Yadav

Dearest Laluji, Bihar elections are one of a kind in India. They have a very special ingenuity that's uniquely different from elections contested in any other part of the country. And who knows that better than you? You have lived the King for three reigns. Your plank of caste, your efficient use of your " lathi " and your everlasting love for " fellow Yadavs " has returned you favors, to which your consecutive wins can rightly be attributed. But what went wrong now? Has Bihar's illiterate and "dehaati" public stopped playing ostrich to your political drama, or is it just the light of development Nitish showed us? Something somewhere is just not right for You. Soniaji atleast accepted her defeat. You, are still playing obnoxious. We are no fools Laluji. Moments after the mandate came out, Bloggers, Writers and media persons throughout internet and newspapers brought out how the landslide win of NDA over RJD was rightly due to the taste ...

Spammer Facebook : An open letter to you

Dear Facebook, you are crap. yes you truly are! The friend invite policy of yours is crap. It is liable to slowly erode the face of facebook and dissolve confidence in the product by many members and most hurtful, non-members. In the invite feature of fb, I accidentally accepted the fb feature to invite every single person that I have every emailed, CCed, or BCed in my entire life from Gmail. (hmm, a warning message would have been nice, once clicked, surely I would not have wanted to do that.) Once clicked, I immediately realized my mistake. After the initial embarrassment of inviting my whole world, I got over it as “oh well, my mistake.” Weekly email spam is sent out to these contacts, harassing that they join! Many unpleasant folks have contacted me and are very irritated at me and fb! I found a way in fb to remove all of these accidental invites, but it conveniently doesn’t seem to work correctly. The following pro...

Importing twitter feed in google spreadsheet

Often I wanted to store my twitter feed or any other online feed into my google spreadsheets. Here is how to do it. USING GOOGLE DOCS SPREADSHEET Create a new blank spreadsheet. In the column A2 enter   =ImportFeed(“http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/princemishra1.rss”,”items title”,false,20).  Replace "princemishra1" with your twitter username. 20 is the maximum number of updates you can see at any one time. The updates are cached by the google server, so you may see some delays. You can view the spreadsheet I created at  https://spreadsheets1.google.com/ccc?key=td3mefj69f71XSlbRiREuhA&hl=en#gid=0 USING EXCEL Create a blank spreadsheet. Select Data -> From Web This should open the New Web Query Window. In the address field enter http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/princemishra1.rss (Replace princemishra1 with your twitter username) and press Go. Excel will now fetch all your twitter updates. After the fetching has fi...

A* Algorithm notes

The A* (pronounced A-star) algorithm can be complicated for beginners. While there are many articles on the web that explain A*, most are written for people who understand the basics already. This article is for the true beginner.   This article does not try to be the definitive work on the subject. Instead it describes the fundamentals and prepares you to go out and read all of those other materials and understand what they are talking about. Links to some of the best are provided at the end of this article, under Further Reading. Finally, this article is not program-specific. You should be able to adapt what's here to any computer language. As you might expect, however, I have included a link to a sample program at the end of this article. The sample package contains two versions: one in C++ and one in Blitz Basic. It also contains executables if you just want to see A* in action.  But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let's start at the beginning ... Introduction: The Sear...
