Yaadein.......2008

The yester year has been proven very lucky and happy for me.If I just turn back today and see the foot prints that 08 left me.. I feel proud of myself Infact Very Proud.

The year 2007 was very unlucky for me as I had faced lot of ruckus all through the year.

So, in the starting of 2008 I expected the year to show its face instead of the its back.

and it in deed did that... The luck haas turned to me and have given me lot of solace.

The memories of '08 have been extremely pleasent to me.

I started with my 6th sem project in Jan. A project which has borne all the LUXURIES of my lst 6 months of my Student life.

Rite from the begining of my Project I have decided that -- " I am going to enjoy every singel moment of these last 6 months in HCU"and I am succesful in doing thus for a greatest extent.

I have started doing the OCR ( Telugu) Project along with Simhadri( My Close Friend who un fortunately now is in Ahmedabad..eating Roties).

Right from the initial days we started shooting around the fun.. We had been to Universal bakers many times.. and had explored all the Hotels nearby HCU. It is Jan infact where in Me,sinha,Noops and Venu had put that Unforgettable Campfire in front of O.D. I wish I had those pics to put in here but Venu could not safely put them.( YOU A***H*** Venu).

During feb happened a tremendous D.J. which I am sure can never ever happen again.

This pic surely takes me there....

Along with the DJ came Unnati....which has got me a New gang of friends.

After Unnati it happened so that we 6-7 people became a gang .

and the gang consisted Me,Rajesh,Sandeep,Noopur,Nitya,Vasu,Mithun and occassionally Venu.

The Time I could get to spend with all these people for the next 4-5 months is THE best tie i have ever had during my MCA.

Those late night chattings.... and those gapastings.....Gossips......pulling the legs ....

singing the songs together, Going to the restaurants evry now and then for every silly reason.

Feb and march Just passed by....Then came the April ...The Month of SUKOON........

A month which has made my dreams come true...... 

And I have emerged as the New Mr.SUKOON -2008.( I want to right a special post about the sukoon experiences as the rest 362 days are one side of the coin and the four days are another side.)

Later on the months were jus goin on and on and on. I was getting desperate about getting a job and was getting tensed all the time.And it was the month of August - when the Luck has shown its face to me. It was the month when I cleared the Interview of Ramp and got placed as a .NET developer.

My life was put on a proper track and I started working in RAMP.

Very fastly 4 months slipped from the sands of time. 

I also could by my dream cell phone Sony Cybershot( K550i) with my own toil and sweat.

Before getting into Ramp I have worked for the Ministry oF IT ( India) in HCU as a OCR Proj. Asst and I have earned 8k p..m. I got the arrears in the month of October and i managed to buy my phone a couple of days before diwali. Diwali was another blast this time.

It was me and Babbannayya( satish Chaganti) who have decided much well before in hand that we are going to blast this Diwali. Since, I started working and am earning some Bucks I could make it a sucess.

Here is a Snap of that ....

Later on November was just numb and silently passed.

And then came December. I have completed my first ever LIVE PROJECT called Enrich IT.

During the last week of December I could get to go to the Exotically wonderful- Mahabaleswar.

The trip needs a Special post with all the experiences. The scooter boat ride that I did in Tapola was a Life time experience and here is a snap of that ......

On a whole the year 2008 has been proven very happy year for me.

I HOPE the year 2009 to be the same way in fact a much more happier for me and everyone else on the Earth..

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

Lots of Love,

How Imporrtant is it to maintain Distance between vehicle while in Traffic

It’s almost a week since....I had a small crash while travelling through the Clumsy,confusing,Puzzling and Shitty Roads of Hyderabad in the cab

The incident took place on a flyover in Begumpet. Yes ..The Begumpet. No wonder that some one has stumbled the other on those busy flyovers. Because the timing(9a.m-11 a.m) itself is such a significant time for all the citizens of Hyderabad who go to Work.

The incident happened like this..

We were 6 people all together in the cab. We have reached begumpet at almost 9.35a.m.

As soon as we got upon to the Prakash Nagar Fly Over..( TMC fly over)  there was a fleet of 20-30 cars and SUV's ahead of us in the same lane of ours.

Something some where went wrong with the First few cars and it happened to be Chained applying of Sudden Brakes.

Our cab was at a speed of 30 kmph or even lesser...all of a sudden.. was forced slam into a Black Scorpio in front of us due to the chained Sudden Brakes.The jerk went so rapid that I pounced out of my seat and had slammed my head to the car's door Support.

For a moment ... Everything went blank.

But very soon i could get to understand the situation.

Later...In less than a minute i was feeling some excruciating pain on my forehead.

When I rubbed over .......I found that there was a Bump on my head.

There was absolutely no blood but the pain was simply untolerable.

Anyhow......If we try to find the root cause for the whole incident I found that Not maintaining a minimum distance between the vehicles as the reason. I drove almost 22,000 kms on my vehicle only in Hyderabad. but I never bothered to maintain the minimum distance.

I always have applied Sudden Brakes ....Irrespective of the Road , time and Area.

I never realized that it is significant to maintain so. But now after this small accident I have realized that it is very important to maintain ample 

distance with the vehicles.

I dont expect to see a Revolution in the driving styles of the citizens of Hyderabad by posting this blog. But, Just because it happened to be a Mishap with us....

I hope anyone at any point of time reading this post ........ if at all U can visualize what I have written....and keep it in ur mind...I am sure that you'll never come across a situation like me...

I wish evryone in Hyderabad..... A very happy ..Joy ful....&  Safe riding in Hyderabad..and all Heavy Traffic Prone cities....

Cheers,

Google adds video and voice chat to Gmail

Google Inc added a voice and video chat feature to its Gmail email service on Tuesday, launching a free Web-based service that competes with the likes of eBay's Skype.

Gmail and Google App subscribers can now choose to speak with friends on a video screen and simultaneously instant message them in a Google Chat box.

The video screen can be popped out of the chat box and moved around a user's computer screen. Users can also change the size of the screen and expand it to full-screen size.

"The idea was to make it quicker and easier to communicate with other people by whatever means is best convenient," said Google spokesman Jason Freidenfelds.

"It's a nice alternative for businesses looking for another way for people to connect," he added.

The feature is available for both PC and Apple computer users.

A webcam and small web browser plug-in are required to use the video chat. Users who do not have a webcam will still be able to chat with friends by voice.

My fav sentences from Alchemist

The Alchemist is a wonderful novel written by Paulo Coelho.
This novel is all about a boy who travels across countries to realize his dream.
Though this Novel is fictitious- it also has a dash of romance added at some point of time and a small conversation says...

"I'm going away," he said। "And I want you to know that I'm coming back. I love you because…"

"Don't say anything," Fatima interrupted. "One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for

loving."

When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his

dream," said the alchemist..

This sentence is re used in the Bollywood Movie- any guesses??
Om shanti Om.

किसी चीज़ को पूरे दिल से चाहो तोह पूरे कायनात उसे तुझसे मिलाने की कोशिश करती हैं !!!.....

There are many more sentences that impressed me ..will post them later.

as of now.....

Say Cheese....

Virtual Web Application

This application uses File System Provider of ASP.NET Whidbey to serve web pages from database. Using this provider, you can serve web pages from any non-file system location. In this application, web pages are stored in Access Database. In addition, this web application will not have all the web pages stored in database. Other than Generic pages like LoginPage.aspx, RegisterUser.aspx and .Master page, all other pages are generated dynamically i.e. there wont be any file in database or in file system for those web pages. When the page is requested, content is dynamically generated and sent to the user. Only one template page is stored in database from where all the content is generated. Content is generated based on configuration in an xml file, which is specified in previous section.  

When a page is requested by a user, this application will verify whether that web page is specified in the xml file. Otherwise, file not found error is raised. If the file is specified in the xml file. It will look for content definition in that file, based on that it will generate the content for this web page.

Google Chrome's Speciality

Google Chrome is tha latest browser from the Google Co.

This browser is very light in contrast with the IE and Mozilla.

It looks like the Safari web browser of Apple Co.

The Look and Feel of Google Chrome is simply superb.

If you frequently use some pages unlike the other browsers it maintains the thumbail views of the screenshots of the pages. Besides maintaining the history this is another useful feature. 

All the Menu items are not displayed, Many other things like the status bar etc., are not present in this browser whih allows you to have more space for viewing the content.

It seems the threads are very lite in this browser. Especially in case of tabs.

Besides the above features it has a unique feature called "incognito". The incognito feature is that feature that allows the user not to maintain the Browsing History, Cookies etc.,

So if you want Chrome to not to maintainthese details use the incognito feature of the Chrome.

However, the files we download and the bookmarks are saved as it is.

So,Folks....

All I want to tell you is that I loved Google chrome ...

It is very Lite and Nice.... 

So go ahead and use it....

Thats all for now,

Yours,

Sriki

తరవాణి అంతే ఏంటి ???

తరవాణి

కన్నకలలు సాకారమైన వేళ .......
ఎన్నో రోజులుగా ఎదురు చూస్తూ వస్తున్న బ్లాగ్ తయారు చేసిన రోజు ఇది...!!!(పంతొమ్మిది సెప్టెంబర్).

తరవాణి అంటే ఏంటి??
చాలామందికి వచ్చే అతి సాధారణ సందేహం ఇది ...

తరవాణి అనేది అన్నం మరియు గంజి తో చేసే పదార్థం.
పులియ బెట్టిన గంజి లో వేడి వేడి అన్నం వేసి .... దాన్ని ౩ రోజుల తర్వాత తినడానికి ఉపయోగిస్తారు..
నాగరిక సమాజం లో బ్రతుకుతున్న ఏంటో మందికి వెగటు గా అనిపించినా... మనిషి శరీరానికి ఎంతో మంచిది ఈ "తరవాణి"..
తూర్పు, పశ్చిమ గోదావరి జిల్లాలలో తరవాణి చాలా పాపులర్.
వేసవి కాలం లో ఎండను పడి వచ్చి న వారికి దాహం మరియు అలసట తీర్చడానికి తరవాణి చాలా ఉపయోగ పడుతుంది.

అంతే కాదు ....కొత్త ఆవకాయ తో తరవాణి రుచి....
చెప్తే తెలిసేది కాదు .....
అది రుచి చూసి తీరాల్సిందే...
అనుభవించి లోట్టలేయాల్సిందే......

మొత్తానికి కొంచెం పులుపు ....కొంచెం కమ్మదనం
దానికి తోడుగా కొంచెం ఆవకాయ కారం .....
కొసరి కొసరి వడ్డించే అమ్మ చేతి మమకారం .....
అన్ని కలగలిపితే ....తరవాణి ఒక అద్భుతం .....

అందుకే నా బ్లాగ్ కి తరవాణి అని నామకరణం చేశా.....

అంత అద్భుతం గా కాక పోయిన వీలైనంత లో ...
నా బ్లాగ్ ని దిద్దుదామని అనుకుంటున్నా ......
మీ సహాయ సహకారాలు అందించి ఈ బ్లాగ్ ని మరింత సుందర సుమధురం గా చేస్తారని ఆశిస్తూ


మీ.....
శ్రీకాంత్ చాగంటి
