World wants peace like thisJJJJ

I got this wonderful greeting from my good friend today..

I had a great trip from bangalore to chennai and back this weekend, I had a lot of my marriage works and also settling some thing in chennai as i have resigned my present organization, I was like crazily roaming around in chennai.

when i got into the train “Yeshwantput Express” in bangalore to chennai. My compartment was very different with Laloos new achievement. waow!! what was that ? yeah, generally there is only 8 birth per compartment, But recently they have added one more to a compartment so it was 9 instead of 8. When i got into the train i was shocked to see my seat number alloted to me was a side upper. Trust me, the birth made me feel like a coffin. But, I booked lower birth. A foreigner lady was alloted in the side middle birth, OMG you shuld see her face when she slept in the side middle birth, she was not comfortable at all.. So, when i offered her my birth she was uncomfortable there too.. she was asking me to talk to the Ticket Collector for alternative. As the arrangement got recently changed, there were some seats vacant and she Luckily she got one lower birth seat in the same compartment and moved her there with the Help of the Ticket Collector.

Then a family came with huge luggages, but no space to accomodate every luggage, finally they managed to get help from other people and arranged in such a way that they can sleep atleast. very co-operative people in the compartment so we had a mutual understanding to proceed.

Finally when i reached chennai central, it was 5:45 AM. It is suppose to reach at 5:15 AM, then got down and took another local train to my place. The soon i reached my home my mom was waiting for me in the Balcony looking out for me. Went home and took some refreshment and started to roam with my brother. He had taken a leave to his office. We both started in the bike, we went to meet few key people in my life to invite them for my wedding. almost every one were very happy when i said i am getting married. and every one was very positive towards attending my wedding.

I met my good old friends like Raman, VNRN Ravi, Dr. Alphonso Doss, Dayalnathan, Saravanan, Rajesh, and head back to meet my mom in my aunt place..

Came to my aunt place and took a good nap for about 2 hours and then left to few places to meet few people whom i left.

After my brother coming back home we went to Chennai City Center Plaza and had a awesome hang around with some good non veggie foods in the food court in 4th floor. Wow.. Mouth Watering collections.. We went to about 5 restaurants and bought different foods to taste, We had been to Wangs kitchen, Little Italy, Red Chillies, Ponnusamy, Sangeetha, Kabab Corner ( not sure about the name ), then went to have some juice in the a juice corner there.

Awesome Christmas decorations. Waow.. I forgot my phone in the bike so couldnt even take a pic of it.. I miss that..

Went Landmark to purchase some DVD’s to watch. We end up buying some DVD’s and came back home around, 10:45 PM. You know what, My little cousin, karthik was waiting for us to come back and like sitting in the hall when every others were sitting in the inside rooms.. He was very eagerly waiting for my arrival as we met each other a month ago.

He was telling me the entire 1 month story without sleeping till about 12:20 AM. Then I made him sleep as it was too late.

Next day morning we had a great breakfast in my aunt home, further to having breakfast I and my brother again started to roam around the city to invite few other people for my wedding.

I and my brother first went to Meet Shango, ( One of the very important person in my life ). He directed me to a right person who is my mentor, Shango himself has helped me in my growth many times and his advice use to be very crisp and clear and he has alwasy made me think in my life of my own. Couldtn meet Shango both the times i went home, But i met his daughter and I felt very bad for his son and my friend  being injured and bed ridden for a month or so. I think he met with an accident and his Knee Cap is dislocated.

Secondly from there, I went to meet Mr. DK Jain, a very good human and a great personality and in a very solid position in one of the reputed organization in India. I met his son who has recently came back from US who is gonna join Dreamworks as Technical Director, a Bits Pilani Alumni and had a good time with them. DK was very happy to see me getting married as I was a kid infront of him when i joined that company where DK was Sr.VP. He said he will surely make it up for my wedding.

After returning from these places i went to my aunt place, i have not gone to their place for an year or so. I went to meet them, had an awesome lunch there and met my cousin and all there and head back to station for my train to Bangalore.. in the due course my friend Karthik called up and fixed a meeting in chennai before i left, I met Karthik and Sathya there and i invited them for my wedding. Sathya Dropped me in the Central Railway Station for my train.

In the train i found a very interesting cute kid ” Bhavna ” who got very close and attached to me till she got down from the train. I should really say that we had a great time together in the train for 6 hours.

Got down in the Cantonment Station, and went to Prepaid auto stand to take auto, there was a huge Q but no autos in the prepaid place. Finally some auto came and he started issuing the tickets. I had a bad time with the auto guys yesterday in bangalore.. Inspite of getting a prepaid chit, he started quarralling iwth me in the middle asking me for 2 meter charge. and got down from his auto and took another auto to my place.. after reaching home i sent a quick reply for the mail i got from my mentor. He called me up and were talking for about an hour or so.. then slept.. end of 28th

Yesterday when I slept it was around 2:00 AM in the morning after wishing my friends.

I got up very late this morning, around 10:00 AM, Wished few friends whom i thought not to disturb in the late night.

Today my friend Yogananth who stays in Singapore is celebrating his first birthday after his marriage which happened recently in Coimbatore, and one of my Ex-Boss Wife Uttama Mukherjee is celebrating her birthday so wished them too.. Unfortunately couldnt talk to both of them.

Well, what did i do next ?

I was packing all my baggages and getting ready to move out of bangalore on 31st and the year end of 2008.

It is quite interesting, I came to bangalore to reside on 29th December of 2007, and vacating Bangalore in the same time almost two days more… I joined my present employer on 2nd Jan 2008 and had a wonder ful one year career with them and now decided to quit for my personal reasons.

Everyday I spent in bangalore and this organization, I learnt some thing and manythings new.

Engineering students who are tired of installing and uninstalling various software pertaining to their course of study can now hope to breathe easy.

A new free software Operating System developed by e-Swecha, a variant of Linux–a popular open source OS, promises to solve their problems concerning the installation and uninstallation of software for the purpose of study.

Richard Stallman, the founder of the Free Software Foundation and GNU Project, will launch the e-Swecha initiative, on Wednesday, wherein about 21,000 computers will see migration from present OS to e-Swecha across the state in the next one month, they said.

JNTU Hyderabad has already taken an initiative to promote the usage of free software in colleges and has stood by its word for transformation of the current OS to e-Swecha OS, they added.

Wed, Dec 24 08:29 AM

Washington/New Delhi, Dec 23 (PTI) The World Bank has barred India’s Satyam Computer from doing business with it for eight years on the charges of data theft, a Bank official said today. “The information is true.

Quotes about the World Bank on Fox News channel are correct,” the Bank’s spokesperson in India told PTI when asked about the US media reports on the debarment. The development comes at a time when the company is facing a probe back home over an abortive acquisition deal involving two firms promoted by Satyam Chairman Ramalinga Raju’s family.

The World Bank debarment — the toughest sanction the world’s largest anti-poverty agency has imposed on any company since 2004 — was meted out for “improper benefits to bank staff” and “lack of documentation on invoices,” said a Fox News report, quoting Robert Van Pulley, the top World Bank information security official. Satyam had announced a USD 1.6 billion deal to acquire two firms — Maytas Infra and Maytas Properties — promoted by Raju’s family and withdrew it within hours after shareholders’ dissent.

This was followed by market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India and the government saying that it would look into the matter. Months after “stonewalling and denying” reports that Satyam has been barred from doing any business with the bank for eight years, a top World Bank official has admitted that Satyam — one of its technology vendors — was barred in February and the ban has already started in September, the Fox News report said.

I recently got this from my finance manager.. about the beauty of mathematics.. I know its a very old one, still…

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
 
1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
 
9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
 
Brilliant, isn’t it?
And finally, take a look at this symmetry:
 
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321

Yeah Recently i found it with a company called OSMOS Multimedia

A probe by security experts has revealed that cyber criminals tend to work up a fortune by selling stolen Facebook profiles for an amount as low as 89p.

According to Trend Micro specialists, hackers break into social networking accounts to steal personal information of users to sell them off to criminal groups who then use the details to send “spam” messages to million others.

The wrongdoers tend to send an invitation to account holders to view videos or pictures of family and friends, which on being clicked allow access to the victims’ computer, reports the Sun.

The computer is then infected with spyware to obtain a copy of their keystrokes the acquisition of which can allow access to secret information, such as passwords, bank details, and other personal fields.

While Internet banking logons cost 35 pounds each, a million international email addresses for spamming purposes can be traded for just four pounds.

The company’s Rik Ferguson said: “We give away a huge amount of personal information on social networking sites. Hordes of cyber criminals are drawn to them.
