Anna called off his fast in Mumbai due to a poor response from people he thought he was fighting for. Stop. When Mahatma Gandhi returned from South Africa he did not just fight one war with British, he fought three. One that he fought against himself to get rid of pretentiousness, ego and bias and this constant battle of self cleansing continued till he died. Second was in fact against the Indian

ये धुंध और कम्बल में सिहरते लोग सोते किनारे,चौराहों में लोग पीते हुए चाय, और वो भटकते रिक्शे वाले,दूर से लाल बत्तियां चीरती निकलती रौशनी को काटते हुए,वो छोटी सी बच्ची मांगती भीख आधी नंगी अपनी माँ के सहारे,उन गलियों सड़कों की कहानी आज भी याद आती है,और इस धुंध में लिपटी अपनी लखनऊ अब भी रुलाती है।*Picture - courtesy Lucknow page on facebook

When the war broke out between India and Pakistan over Kargil two things happened - Some Indian soldiers were captured and their bodies were found mutilated. Second, on numerous occasions both the countries exchanged bodies of their soldiers with full honor and salute. Professional armies of the world are expected to do the same.

By the time I started my career in Software Industry Apple was no where at the fore front. It was a company that I heard people talking around me with lots of past tenses.

एक धोबी के पास कुछ गधे थे। धोबी नदी के पास ही रहता था। रोज़ वह गाँव जाता, लोगों के कपड़े गधों पर लाद कर नदी जाता और धो और सुखा कर गधों पर ही लाद कर गाँव वालों को दे देता था। ऐसा कई वर्षों तक करने के बाद वो और उसके गधे काफी मोटे हो गए। एक दिन नदी ने अपना रास्ता बदल दिया। वह जंगल के उस पार से बहने लगी। चूंकि धोबी और उसका गाँव तो इस पार ही थे वह कपड़े तो जल्दी ही ले आता था, पर अब उसे जंगल पार कर के

Ten years ago I just got out of the shower and getting ready to go to work I heard my roommate's voice - "Ashish just come here and see the news. There has been an accident, a plane hit a tower in New York". I ran and by the time I was there my Oh boy turned into Oh F$%#! Did the traffic control made this big mistake? I didn't want to believe International Terrorism just hit this shore too.Mood

The year was 1784 and the region of Oudh had suffered one of its worst famine of that time. Nawab Asaf-Ud-Daulah knew how proud the citizens of Lucknow were. Lucknowites did not accept charities as long as they had an ability to work. Quality of a ruler is to know the pulse of its citizens, to hear it when it beats something today's leaders have failed to do. He had money collected overtime as

सोचा था सजा रक्खूं इक पत्थर सीने में उसकी याद में, समय के साथ तब्दील हुआ वो पत्थर भी तेरी मज़ार में। ढूंढ पाता नहीं अब वो भी उस याद की शम्मा लेकर, दिखते हैं बस कुछ साए इन आईनों की बाज़ार में।

You know how we all love Gandhi Ji and wanted him to get us all freedom from the British clutches. We sat and sang "Vaishnav Jan to tene Kahiye", wore the Topi and white Kurta and still so conveniently forgot about that minor washing the kitchen plates in our house. Its astonishing how few really applied and adopted his teachings in its essence. We then jumped over a few generations and were

आया ज़माना याद, वो सेवैयाँ लाजवाब। पैर छूते मिलती थी ईदी, हम भी कहते थे आदाब। गले मिलना बना रहता था सुबह दूध की घोसी तक, झुकते थे सर हमारे, बड़े रखते थे उस पर हाथ। न सोचा वो थे मुसल्मा हम हिन्दू बच्चे शादाब, क्यूँ खो गए वो दिन, कहाँ खो गयी वो चाँद रात?

When my daughter was born one of the first things we had to deal with was to come up with her name. As we had not discussed it earlier, the arguments ensued and for a long time me and my wife did not have a complete agreement. Now besides her official name we call her by ten other names and 8 out of these 10 does not even have a literary meaning. But we love to call her by those names as they

Today was the last day of Indian chavvani or chaar aana that to be legally used. It was launched in 1950 as an Indian rupee unit and served its purpose well for 61 years. I still remember seeing ek aana or one paisa being in circulation. Though, as I started to recognize the world around me ek aana was put to rest. It became a collector's item and we as kids could not keep our hands off of one.

Its ironic to write about Hindi literature in English. But if your sentiments are not publicly searchable in Google then I guess they do not exist, times have changed. If there were no Jai Shankar Prasad, Premchand or Mahadevi Verma Hindi would still have only be known for Tulsi, Sur and Kabir.

There was a time when the name of the killer companies (Companies at the forefront) had a lot of weight.

While I do meet people from Pakistan who do not hate India but may have a mixed feeling of dislike, distrust, betrayal or jealousy - true or not, I risk using the word Pakistan here as a generic noun. My use of the word mostly means its government, intelligence, Army and Jihadist/Terrorists. Keeping the general masses out, these four elements itself create a web of entangled policies that the

First of all congratulations Team India for winning the Cricket World Cup after a long 28 years of wait. It was a deserving win and every bit of celebrations for a team the way they planned, played and stuck together. That said for many Indians the Semi-Finals against Pakistan was almost a Final and would have been content even if India would have lost to Sri Lankans. At the end what surprised us

So with all the dismal (not so impressive) to an absurd performance (Remember English and SA games?) by the Indian team they need to be extra cautious when they play West Indies next, if not for points but to rebuild the confidence.

Okay.. I vaguely remembered a method that existed somewhere that could do what I wanted but could not recall the class it was in, and all I had was the jar. So I wrote this:#!/bin/bashfor i in `jar tvf $1 | grep class | awk '{print $8}' | sed -e "s/\//./g" | sed -e "s/\.class//g"`;do echo $i; javap -classpath $1 $i | grep $2;doneEnjoy!

Years ago I used to learn Karate, Shotokan Karate to be more precise. It was an easy thing to join. I was looking to learn some self defense and the Office Gym introduced a program on Shotokan Karate. I am not a very physically active guy so my reason to join was not to get exercises that I could do in 24hr fitness. I wanted to learn the art. And bang it started with a flyer. We had a sixth

I did not know who Vastanavi was not until a few weeks ago. I am no fan or a supporter of Modi either. In fact I don't like him. I have lived in Ahmedabad for a few years and am quite familiar with its dynamics. I also have some opinions about political parties now reacting in response to Vastanavi controversy and above all I always have had a respect for Darul uloom deoband as an institute

I accidentally watched Amrullah Saleh's talk on C-span and suddenly I see new hopes emerging in Afghanistan. I was impressed so much so that I googled him and read a few articles. What I decipher is he is neither a Madarsa going blind jihadi type nor is he an absolute pro-US face. He is an educated person and has a high understanding of Afghan problem and seem to have clear view of its solution.

I read a few news papers and here is my list of my reading pleasure ranking:Rank (1): http://in.rediff.com - Simple and easy. News are mostly latest. Even though it does have a tendency to lean towards RSS/BJP ideologies but the newspapers simplicity is its greatest strengths.

My dream to work in a research organization took me to a job in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. I never felt more UPian than when I used to catch a train back to Lucknow. I still remember horrific scenes at railway platforms. Direct trains from Ahmedabad to UP neither got any respect nor did its passengers. I used to rent a place in Gandhinagar - a relatively clean and an organized city. I once heard someone

There are certain things that get more attention and importance more you give it to them. Is wikileaks telling whats "aha new"? Oh no! Pakistan is an arch enemy of India and Chinese are covertly using it against India - Is this a revelation needed from wikileaks? Biggest fundings for Taliban and Qaeda comes from Saudi Arabia - hmm!

Bihar election results were stunning but not an eye opener. It was somewhat expected. Its a victory of sincere effort to govern over the same old caste based, psychological crap game so far played by Congress and RJD combined. Years ago when Chandra Babu Naidu lost the Andhra elections it was a shocking defeat. In spite of all the industry that Naidu succeeded in bringing in and bringing

Rahul Gandhi is a force to reckon with. Most non-congress state governments do not like him. So much so that they pass personal comments against him. No denying people do like him. Where ever he is going he is connecting with people and this is what worrying the state governments who may not be in immediate danger but as the grass-root shifts will be in dire need of survivability.

Booker got one thing wrong - Arundhati Roy. She has been (or wants to be) in limelight for all wrong reasons. Her brush with stupidity started with her comments in support of Maoists and now her blabbering on Kashmir.

September 24th 2010 an Indian court will give its verdict in once seemed never ending case - Ayodhya. Both Hindus and Muslims are wary of violence and Government seems taking it very seriously or may just be creating hysteria.

I don't think I am a gadget freak but systems that are "self-sustained" do attract my attention. My purchase of iRobot Roomba about four years ago was one such attraction. I had many choices then as I have now when it comes to cleaning your floors, but ease of use always tops my list for what I do and what I own. In just a couple of years I realized something got broke and after rigorous analysis

"Stone pelting mob fired upon by security forces" - A problem many nations are facing today and no one seems to understand that bullets cannot be an answer. Security forces can do very little but to fire but it only shows the incompetence of the state as well as federal governments that they seem clueless of finding ways to control the situation. Chidambaram may have been a good finance minister

The story goes.. there was this true wizard. Poor, unaware but with an astute brain. He had this ability to guess things with his strong intuitions. The King invited him to see if he was a cheat. Without anyone seeing him, the King slipped a diamond ring in his fist and asked the wizard if he could guess what it was? Wizard thought about it for a bit and said it is something circular. Then he

Because I am in serious process of fully Ubunticizing myself here is a neat trick to mount a Windows Filesystem onto a Ubuntu directory? Follow the following:sudo fdisk -l (find which FS it is for Windows? On my laptop it was sda1)sudo mkdir /XP (Create a directory to mount the FS to)ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid (Copy the UUID of the Windows FS)sudo nano /etc/fstab (Start editing the file)Add UUID=

Lets try to calculate how AT&T covers 97% of all Americans?Subtract all legal and illegal immigrants - They are not AmericansTake a good percent of Bay Area and Places in Connecticut and NY out where the service sucks.Buildings where Americans work and can't make a phone call because of lack of signal. They work 1/4th of the day in these buildings so take 25% of all Americans in these buildings

For the record I am not an IITian. I wanted to be - a lot but could not be one, neither in Grad or Post Grad. And I do not think folks from the IITs are the only ones smart enough to work on the most complex Engineering problems. A recent panel has proposed to give 70% weightage to 12th grade marks - but I overwhelmingly oppose it. Why?There are many students who do not score well in the 12th

When a country like India should be working day and night with all its resources in eradicating diseases and spending in Infrastructures that provide safety to life, life of an Indian is getting less and less secure by shear in-action of the current Government. We cannot accept insecurity as part of our daily life as we have accepted corruption in our system. Today anti social organizations like

This summer it was hot again. I mean real hot which now has become somewhat expected. What have not been expected were plenty:Cathay Pacific - One of the worst airlines I have ever boarded. After 15 hours of tiring flight to HongKong the connecting flight to Delhi was delayed because they scheduled a bigger aircraft for Delhi which was supposed to go back to Oakland. WTF! Didn't they know that

Its frustrating to see naturalized citizens engaged in act of terror against the same country that provides them livelihood and a quality of life. And then there seems an unending queue of legal, clean, and tax paying residents who are stuck in a never ending residency queue. So as we can't seem to fix the immigration problem, lets come up with some creative ways: Any naturalized foreign national

There is something called "A Problem Statement". No this is not a 20 page business requirement document. Its a single (at most two) line statement that describes what a customer is trying to solve. Believe me the ones who can not give it, don't know what they are doing. With repetitive refinements these are some typical problems you get:To speed up our company's web-site's responses.To stop our

Nah.. There are plenty of forums and consultants who would talk and guide you on complex challenges with Grid Computing. Following are seven simple premise to do Grid computing right.

Few who recognized me right away, including Jon, Peter, and with a slight hick up Desmond and Raanan. Rao from Oracle EM remembered me from my blog photo (I think I still look the same).

Its heart breaking to see as a keen self proclaimed political analyst how day by day a national party is dying under its own weight. The recent slap being from Shibu Soren's JMM.

A guy to salute, what an awesome bowler he has been.Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - A real maestro. His songs has united more Indians and Pakistanis than a series of CBM meets.Shoaib Akhtar - For some

For some reasons Apple iPhone keeps doing something or the other that does not let me settle down and love it. This time it deleted an important email - Just out of the blue. I was reading a yahoo email and accidentally it moved it to one of the other folders from Inbox. After searching a bit I found the email. I opened it and clicked the move icon and moved the email back to Inbox. Nope. Instead

US Health Care bill passed - Republicans, too much tea is not good for health.Sania marrying Shoaib - Sad part is India could not produce a single Muslim hunk. Zaheer, Irfan, Yusuf et al, stop going around Bollywood actresses. Ricky Martin is gay - Thanks Adam Lambert for being his inspiration.

In 1857 India rose against the British Empire which now is called its first war of Independence - Or at least most of India. After a few early successes the rebellion was crushed and the British were able to do so by keeping a corrupt few together and using them effectively. In the process they structured a new land they could effectively hold and what India became as a nation in 1947 when it

OSGi has gotten some real traction as an Enterprise services platform. For one of the projects I was involved in a viability study for Coherence with Spring on OSGi recently. Even though not all can be divulged here but we overcame some interesting challenges that are worth to blog about.Why OSGi? Why Spring? and Why Coherence (Is that a question)?OSGi - It has championed the modularity.Spring -

A little history - India in mid-70's realized a need of an indigenous MBT and embarked upon once seemed a never ending path. Today after three decades of ups and downs the development of Arjun has been completed as it now competes with world's other Main battle tanks. It will not be an exaggeration to say Arjun is one menacing beast but to no avail because its user has already taken a love route

चलो होली के इस रुत में आज कुछ रंग हो जाए,जो आशिक है छुपा बैठा, थोड़ा सा तंग हो जाए।महक फूलों कि चादर मैं बना कैसे इसे ओढूँ?हवा में खुशबुयें जो हैं, हमेशा संग हो जाए।

अजीब वाक़या है ये ज़िन्दगी हर मोड़ मुड़ती है।लगे तो ये कि आखिर मै चलाता हूँ इसे फिर भी,ये अक्सर राह ही अपने आप मुड़ के यूँ निकलती है।खुदा जाने कि राहें ये चुना मैंने, या उसने है चुना मुझको?पर जब भी यूँ लगे कि हाथ में पतवार आयी हो,झटक के वो सहारा ही मेरे हाथों फिसलती है।
