People often don't realize the importance of trying to talk their way out. Some examples from practical life:</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">I go for evening walks. One day i forgot my purse and wanted to eat an icecream, Badly. I thought lets ask the icecream vala for a credit. I went and said ki bhiya kal paise de dunga aaj laya nahin. He said, "Sir, aap toh roj aate ho. Kal de dena :)"</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">I had one stubborn client how refused to pick up my calls. I thought he was purposely ignoring me. But still I gave my self respect a back seat and went ahead to meet him although I had called him many times before. He welcomed me and I found he was really busy and wasn't picking up anyone's calls. But still he listened to me and I got my work done.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">A not so related example is: Being in the service industry you have to talk to your clients. You have to give them support. I have realized the more personal you get with them, the more comfortable they are. For example, Whenever write a email to a particular person, I address him as <name> Bhiya. and Ya if you call them just to know whats up and if they are having any problems, they feel a sense of security. </name></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></p></div></span><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xUj0DhwFVdA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xUj0DhwFVdA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Romramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818521394278809071noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10441488.post-76947604145822022302010-03-12T01:01:00.000-08:002010-03-12T01:17:19.253-08:00Google Buzz #failI have hated google buzz from its very existence. I <a href="http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/256600.html">nipped the bud</a> on the very first day. <div><br /></div><div>Why? Because I thought it was a cheap twitter clone and it was made probably because Google was not able to acquire Twitter or <a href="http://twitter.com/romram/status/10113263249">may be the people behind it</a>. But anyways the interface really sucked. Google has to understand that the same interface will not work at all places. If one UI works good in Email and Feed readers it might not in a micro blogging platform. </div><div><br /></div><div>Also following people's update on one more people means more waste(?) of time. <a href="http://tiduhere.blogspot.com/2010/03/creativity-of-constraints.html">I hate wasting time</a>. I really do. Also it would mean that i wanted to micro blog something then I will have a choice between Twitter and Google Buzz, thus adding confusion to my life, <a href="http://tiduhere.blogspot.com/2010/02/important-rules-of-my-life.html">stripping it of its minimalism</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>Also I really hated the idea of Google trying to take over my life by automating the the people I follow and the people who follow me. And ya imagine following celebrity people based on their emails. This would never happen. And ya taking of emails, I dont want my my email client to be filled up by people's blatter. I want to keep my work(email) separate from social networking. Integrating both of them makes me more vulnerable to wasting time. </div><div><br /></div><div>And ya what sparked this anger. I was reading a friend's buzz that he posted on twitter and wasted to point out a google buzz fail. <a href="http://www.google.com/buzz/jyotendra/aJhAuJ4g92t/क-ई-त-मस-प-छ-क-न-ह-म">See this buzz </a>. The minimized text is readable. Expand it and you will not be able to read it. Ha Ha #fail #google #buzz.</div><div><br /></div><div>And ya if you dont know how to deactivate buzz, <a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=171460">here are the instructions</a>. RIP Google Buzz. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Romramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818521394278809071noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10441488.post-86008786504287300952010-03-10T09:09:00.000-08:002010-03-10T09:32:08.217-08:00The creativity of constraints<a href="http://tiduhere.blogspot.com/2010/02/important-rules-of-my-life.html">I follow minimalism</a> as an important rule of my life. It helps me to focus all my attentions to necessary things and lets me do things in time. <div><br /></div><div><a href="http://mnmlist.com/constraints/">This post</a> highlights another benefit of minimalism - creativity. Its true , when you have less resources at your disposal, you tend to be creative with them. Some examples from my practical life:</div><div><br /></div><div>Time - Yes time is important. Time is limited. Time once spent will never come back. I value my time the most. Thus I never get into discussions that dont concern me or my work. I avoid using facebook and twitter during work. I usually do sprints, of an hour each. During this hour I work with full focus. Between each sprint is the social networking time. I hate working in the night and try to finish my work before night. </div><div><br /></div><div>Startup - Being a part of startup the resources at your disposal are really limited. It makes think of innovative ideas. </div>Romramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818521394278809071noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10441488.post-88523685090929197042010-02-18T21:08:00.000-08:002010-02-18T21:47:40.926-08:00Startup working from home cum office - The biggest challenge<a href="http://http://www.caroline-middlebrook.com/blog/self-disclipline-when-you-work-from-home-on-the-internet/">As this blog points out</a>, the biggest problem working from home is self discipline. You tend to work on internet where theres a very thin line between your work and facebook/gmail. <div><br /></div><div>It might happen that you are in front of your laptop 12 hours a day but still nothing gets done the whole day. This happens because there is no boundary between work and leisure and as a result your productivity sucks. The problem gets worse in a startup when you have <a href="http://www.pluggd.in/what-exactly-makes-entrepreneurship-so-hard-297/">no bosses to tell you what to do</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>However the first link mentions a few ways to streamline your work schedule and get the most out of it. These are:</div><div><br /></div><div><ul><li>Decide on the number of work hours per week or may be decide the max number of working hours in day. </li></ul><ul><li>Decide the most important work </li></ul><ul><li>Postpone the unimportant works</li></ul><ul><li>Always have the big picture in mind. </li></ul><ul><li>Have regular meetings and a healthy communication with teammates.</li></ul></div>Romramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818521394278809071noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10441488.post-70836651378716467762010-02-18T05:33:00.000-08:002010-02-18T05:46:35.963-08:00Important rules of my lifeEveryone has some principles by which they stand. The principles which help them to recover from difficult situations and give them peace. For some people the mere teachings of a religion serve the purpose. But I don't believe in any religion because I think its a glorified wrapper around something very simple.<div><br /></div><div>Anyways the following things always come to my mind whenever I am caught up in a situation:</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><blockquote>Never ever trouble yourself. </blockquote></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>For example you want to vent out your frustration on anybody but instead you are troubling yourself by not doing so and sulking. Do it and get over it. </div><div><br /></div><div>Before "not" doing anything just think whether you are troubling yourself by not doing it. If yes, go ahead do it. You will much better.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><blockquote>Minimalism</blockquote> </b></div><div><br /></div><div>The more things you have the more things you have to manage.</div><div><br /></div><div>My working table is never to filled up with. </div><div><br /></div><div>Keep the relevant things and throw away the unrequired stuff. Yes throw them away.</div><div><br /></div><div>Apple has stunning desings and they are always so elegant and simple.</div><div><br /></div><div>Doing one thing at a time. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><blockquote><b>Whenever I am sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead!</b></blockquote></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This one is a recent one liner from someone's facebook status. But it works like charm. Whenever you are sad just think of this line and suddenly you will notice a positive vibe instead.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>PS: will keep updating this list.</div><div><br /></div>Romramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818521394278809071noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10441488.post-84950117624943096342010-01-07T00:55:00.000-08:002010-01-07T00:57:48.659-08:00Archiving narcissism<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipmzuPCHrVPv55gO7UYySXh4by7lLnczdA8mjOZlyp3nkEaAxgpuGPifLblUci1QxVEyek45GV1QNrMRiDdkywRW8GB6oU3mX5ieLoy0fOS1O-Thtf7FF90w5u5gtKO6fbyow6AQ/s1600-h/Screenshot.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipmzuPCHrVPv55gO7UYySXh4by7lLnczdA8mjOZlyp3nkEaAxgpuGPifLblUci1QxVEyek45GV1QNrMRiDdkywRW8GB6oU3mX5ieLoy0fOS1O-Thtf7FF90w5u5gtKO6fbyow6AQ/s320/Screenshot.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423919159707305122" /></a>Romramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818521394278809071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10441488.post-15217116196415324182010-01-01T09:36:00.001-08:002010-01-01T10:15:22.684-08:00Give me some sunshine<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>The latest song "Give me some sunshine" from the movie 3 idiots is too catchy. The moment you hear the song you can somewhere relate to the song. Although my life till now now has been totally on my terms, be it the choice of career or the choice of college or the choice of startup. I will never say that "ki bachpan bhi gaya, jawani bhi gayi... ab toh hume jeene do jeene do...".<div><br /></div><div>but still yaar load kis ki life main nahin hota. Load chodo. I Still was thinking ki kyun main is gaane se itna relate kar paata hoon. And the sheer reason was ki hain gaana bahut sacchai se gaaya hain yaar. The music is sooo relaxing and the voice is so simple that you feel drowned in the song. And secondly aspirations kiske nahin hote. This song reminds you all those unachieved things in life. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Romramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818521394278809071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10441488.post-66528661727956468672009-11-28T02:34:00.001-08:002009-11-28T02:34:57.778-08:00Life in a metroSaw the movie again today on TV and fell in love again with it.<br /><br />The first time I had watched the movie, it soo knocked me out. <br />True Emotions, shown in such a practical manner are bound to touch your heart.<br />People struggling to make ends meet often forget the true reason for which they go to work. <br />This reminds of these lines from munnabahi :<br /><br /><p style="font-style: italic;">Shaher ki is daud me daud ke karna kya hai?</p><p style="font-style: italic;">Jab yehi jeena hai dosto to phir marna kya hai?</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Paheli barish me train late hone ki fikr hai</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Bhul gaye bhigte hue tahelna kya hai?</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Serials ke kirdaaro ka saara haal hai malum</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">par maa ka haal puchhne ki fursat kaha hai?</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Ab ret pe nange pao tahelte kyu nahi?</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">108 hai chanel phir dil bahelte kyu nahi?</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Internet se duniya ke to touch me hai,</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">lekin pados me kon raheta hai jaante tak nahi.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Mobile, Landline sab ki bharmaar hai,</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Lekin jigri dost tak pahuche aise taar kaha hai?</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Kab dubte hue suraj ko dekha tha, yaad hai?</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Kab jaana tha shaam ka guzarna kya hai?</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">To Dosto Shaher ki is daud me daud ke karna kya hai</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Jab yahi jeena hai to phir Marna kya hai?</p><br style="font-style: italic;" /><br /><br />And <br /> <div class="flockcredit" style="text-align: right; color: #CCC; font-size: x-small;">Blogged with the <a href="http://www.flock.com/blogged-with-flock" style="color: #999; font-weight: bold;" target="_new" title="Flock Browser">Flock Browser</a></div>Romramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818521394278809071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10441488.post-22172652973268411782009-10-21T01:03:00.001-07:002009-10-21T01:03:04.656-07:00Google Chrome loveI am missing the google chrome browser in linux.

This also helps in restoring deleted data, if required.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Situation:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">In Naarad(our erp solution for coaching institutes) users add teaching logs, which is basically a log book of which teacher taught which subject from what to what time. However your clients employ teachers which come and go. So teachers get added and deleted all the time. But if the teachers are deleted, then the logs refering to them would throw an error , saying the record doesn't exist.</span><br /><br />Solution:<br /><br />If we dont find the record, then try find_with_deleted first. If find with deleted fails, then render nil or blank<br /><br />Basically instead of using<br /><script src="http://gist.github.com/195526.js"></script><br />I now used<br /><script src="http://gist.github.com/195528.js"></script><br />and force_find is defined as<br /><script src="http://gist.github.com/195529.js"></script><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Situation:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Ok now I can view the deleted record. But the logs can also be edited. So now the deleted records shoould be edited. But editing a deleted record sounded wierd.</span><br /><br />Solution:<br /><br />But there was a catch. In my case, logs corresponded to dates. So if a record is deleted, then it makes sense to edit its log entries before it was deleted. So in my app subjects had teachers and i defined a new method<br /><br /><script src="http://gist.github.com/195536.js"></script><br /><br />Now while assigning teachers to log, all the teachers present on the system at a particular day are fetched.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Note: The above method in the application helper has been extracted out into a plugin. </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://github.com/intinno/may_be_deleted">Read the details here.</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_%28mythology%29"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

For a self proclaimed geek like me... going to some place outside Bangalore seems too much pain. I am very happy in my comfort zone i.e. /home/google/udit. :)</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">So on Friday night went to Koramangala area where I met Arpit, Dani, Shanks, Veeru and Dahiya. </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">अपने</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">बत्च्मतेस</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">से</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">मिलने</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">मैं</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">मज्जा</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">ही</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">कुछ</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">और</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">आ</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">ता</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">हैं</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">. Then bahut mehnat and phone calls ke baad ek mast restaurant mila and had a good time there. After that went to the place where Arpit was staying i.e. Kala's house. Kala is an awesome person and learned about his various Real Life Orkut Adventures. Quite awesome man.. aisa bhi ho sakta hain kya??? And then finally after so many days watched the movies I wanted to, on Arpit's laptop. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">On Saturday morning the HR guys had planned a movie for us, Shreck 3 to be more precise. Actually I don't watch Cartoon Movies but I liked this one. Then I headed back to my comfort zone i.e. /home/google/udit and spent the remaining day </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javaqa/2001-11/03-qa-1121-mrhappy.html">understanding things</a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> that had confused me since 1985. I Also took someone's Ipod, copied all the songs on my hard disk and then configured a player to play mp3. All this on Ubuntu. Ubuntu actually Rocks!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">So now comes Sunday morning and I suddenly want to buy Jeans. Living in Kgp makes you wear the same two pair of jeans you have for your entire life. But now I decided that it was time to get some new ones. So I went to </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangalore_Central">Bangalore Central</a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> as suggested by Reddy hunting for some cheap Jeans. Now begins the best part of the weekend. So I reached the third floor, where the jeans corner is </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">and started looking at stuff. Then a Girl came, and said, "<span style="font-style: italic;">Hi, I am a Fashion Analyst[Not sure about the analyst part :)] and can I help you in selecting jeans</span>". She was good looking, but not those bitchy types. She looked as though she was from a middle class family. <span style="font-style: italic;">But She was too Beautiful man.

But today Ive decided that I will go ahead and press that damm publish button... no matter what crap I write. Man I need to log my life... these are important days yaar....<br /><br />Flashing back a little the eighth sem was kinda cool... did many things.... took what I wanted to study and attended whatever I thought was worth waking upto..... wrote brilliant proposals for Google Summer of Code, got selected and then had to actually leave it.. :( ..... gave 3 interviews for internship in Google Bangalore and god knows how I got selected... have I become intelligent....?? cool man :). and then when all was going smoothly it happened.... a truck came... on the wrong side of road... with its lights off... and hit Arpit Jain.... it seemed like the end of life.. for both him and me... but as dark clouds come and go... this event also passed by.... with Arpit Jain not even breaking one bone.... damm man.... !!! :D Anyways thats kinda good... it is becuz Arpit Jain is my only hope to get a girl... this is how it will work... Arpit Jain claims to have seen Vivah 5-10 times... and cried atleast 50 times... ok I may be exaggerating but the number is quite close.... ok so he says that he likes this whole idea of going to a girl's house and seeing her.... and plans to visit atleast 10 girls before settling on the one he has already decided... :)... so I seem to like marwari girls.... and thus have decided to go along with Arpit on his 10 adventures... and atleast I will like 1 out of the 10 girls(or may be atleast one of them will like me)... it doesn't matter until it works out... so long live Arpit Jain... hehe.<br /><br />But there is one truth.... I have fallen in love with Atif Aslam's songs.... I feel this man is a genius.... he writes... so beautiful.... he sings... too much man.... you are my god....<br /><br />So after all those hectic/sweaty days in kgp I finally landed in Bangy.... awesome place to be in if you have a girlfriend.... but otherwise its just a waste of the resources around... and ya Google is an awesome place to work in. They made office more comfortable.. than your home.... TV, CCD, free food and that too good food... cab to pick u up and drop you off when ever you want.... and if you like me don't have a girl friend to look after then probably you will end up living in the office itself as I do. Anyways after a long effort I've finally joined a Gym here becuz when you eat so much all throughout the day... then it becomes very important to exercise too.... and it is today that I went to a place where I enjoyed rock music... don't ask me where and why... :)<br /><br />And then when I came back home those thoughts from the summers 2 years back started flashing... started thinking whether remaining quite for the last 2 years..... even though my heart was against it .... was it the right step or not???.......<br /><br />Dooorie sahi jaayyye na.......<br />har rah main tu aaye nazar..... kat ta nahin ab akele tanha safar....<br />Adhora hooon mein abb.....tere bina........Adhoori meri zindagani reh jayegii<br />Doorie sahi jaye na......<br /><br /><br />press that button... yes I am going to this time... so here it goes...........Romramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818521394278809071noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10441488.post-42530470850305726832007-05-07T05:35:00.000-07:002007-05-07T05:38:04.821-07:00Coming Back to LIFEIf Music is my religion, Atfi Aslam is my God!!!<br />:D<br />:DRomramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818521394278809071noreply@blogger.com0
