Dog Wale uncle and Thoughts

This is Todays Breaking News.
Wait. 


Yes you have guessed it correctly.
The City is no longer safe for those software professionals who sometime forget to sleep at night and have to go to their favorite tea stall in the morning to ensure that they don't  fall asleep at 6 in the morning.
Be Patient. We are going to reveal the true facts about this infamous uncle and his Dog who are being pursued by police of 5 states.

Hmmmmm..............I know  you really hate India TV. So  do I.
But this Uncle Ji and his unleashed Dog are really there. It happened today at around 6:30 in the morning.
I was standing against my Bike sipping tea and puffing at the usual Tea Stall I go to. I saw a monster of a domestic dog  walking past me. I noticed the dog was unleashed, and the uncle ji who owns it was following it with the open reins in his hand.
Both uncle ji and the monster dog were lookalikes. Both of them had high BMI ratios so to speak. Uncle ji was wearing a white T shirt with some caption written on it and a navy blue nicker accompanied by the contemporary shoes. I was not happy seeing both these creatures unleashed especially the dog who was barking all the way and scaring out the people out on morning walks.
                                                                     I felt like asking this careless Uncle ji about his foolishness. By than, Uncle Ji had passed by me and the caption on the back of his T Shirt which was visible now explained it all.
I was not suprised at the intellect of Uncle ji as the caption said

"THOUGHTLESSNESS
is BLISS"

I would not be surprised if the tomorrow I'll see Uncle Ji going on a morning walk wearing a miniskirt and sitting on the Dog itself and singnig Linkn Park songs, cause he is a  man incapable of use the thought process.

Confession of a Bike Rider


Being a Bike Rider is tough. Especially if you live in a big city with broad roads and your bike is a contemporary powerful one.(anything above those 98 cc Honda)
There are a lot of challenges there in the road. And than, there is the bike itself.
I became interested amazing world of bikes through a blog called 2wheelsindia. Than, I bought a Honda Unicorn some 7 months back, and since than the bike has grown on me.
This bike has got 150 cc-engine, is in silver color and I never really cared about the millage until recently. In the first two months I was really careful while riding my bike, I seldom went past 75 K mph on it. But things changed by time.As days passed by, my favorite time-pass became wandering around the city on my bike. I also started noticing the other riders, and driver in their cars. Sometimes while at the Crossroads stops I would notice that other riders are looking at each others bikes and are kind of making acknowledgment for an unofficial race which would start as soon as the red light turns green. I often won those races thanks to my bike's fast pick up.

Than there were times when I would be riding my bike on Highways or Delhi's Ring Road and suddenly a Rider will go past me giving horn as if telling me that I can not go as fast as he can. More often than not, I will change gears and try to see if I can. Although, gradually I realized that following another rider just to prove that your bike has more power is complete insanity. I guess, that is the very thing which causes accidents. Than I became what I would call a Grown up Rider. I still would go up to high speeds but will cool down if need be. My Hands will always be touching the hand breaks ready to apply them in split second when it's necessary.

Approximately 3 months back I was riding around the Connaught place and I noticed a girl riding a Pulsar 150 cc. That was really wonderful. I did know earlier that girls do ride scooters and occasionally bikes but this was different. This girl was riding her bike with full confidence. She was wearing one of those helmets which have no Jaw guard and have a half Glass Shield. She was the most beautiful biker I had seen. I tried to follow her around the circular roads of CP discretely. On a second thought, my bike was going in the same direction and it was not really under my control. Than I pulled out of the trail, and the reason for the same is another story which can be dealt with later.

As days went by, I started waking up earlier in the morning to go on a ride. If you are a Bike Rider than there can be no other thing more joyful and soothing than riding your bike at the dawn in low speed with the glass shield of your helmet partially open. When the winds gushes through the open portion of your shield and than touches your face, you may as well feel like riding all day long.

Few Words of Unsolicited advice for all the Bike Rider: Do not fall in love with your bike. Friends, love is blind and surely is possessive. I made the mistake, and it became hard for me to give my bike to the servicing station for even 5-6 hours.I realized my mistake when my bike gave me a lot of inductions of a possible breakdown. I got it serviced finally and try to treat my bike just like any other rider should.


But you never know, True love never dies.....

Satyanarayana Katha Aka illogical Blunder


The most common mistakes while using Loops in programming is the Infinite Recursion or simply Recursion, where in a function keeps calling itself endlessly. Than there is other phenomenon called Nesting which should be wisely used.
However, when we look at any ancient hypothetical story, most of the logic issx usually wanting.
The case which substantiates the above sentence is the Satyanarayana Bhagwan's Katha. Now, I still remember when I was studying in 8th standard perhaps, women in my neighborhood would keep a fast and in the evening they would gather to recite the Katha. One year, they asked me to recite the Katha for them. Perhaps my Hindi and Sanskrit pronunciation was very good or I was the only fool around. I recited the whole story and was utterly confused by the nuisance of illogical events of the story even in that age.
Coming to the point, the Katha is divided in 3 parts, and each one of them has a single common character called "Narad".

The plot for the three stories are:
  1. A poor, old and ailing Brahman as well as an impoverished woodcutter, had all their wishes fulfilled, became prosperous, and ultimately attained salvation by the correct and devotional performance of the Sri Satyanarayna fast and puja.
  2. A childless merchant is suggested by the King to keep the Satyanarayan fast and Katha. His wife decided to perform the fast if they get a child. Fortunately she does get pregnant and delivers a child, but her husband forget to keep the Satyanarayna fast, and thus they are struck by ill fate. Off course when they realize their mistake and keep the fast, the tide turns.
  3. A king while returning after Hunting (alas! he must have been tired) and thought of taking some rest beneath a tree. He was offered some prashad by some cowherd boys who were performing a Satyanarayna puja for fun ( in the middle of jungle I believe). Now the king refused to take the prashad (dude, the boys were playing, wasn't they). And yes, the same ill fate and suffering great losses formula follows here as well.
Now after considering the three sub plots or stories can we actually know what the REAL story is? The answer is a big flat, NO. The three stories are actually talking about different sets of people who keep the Satyanarayna fast and recite the Katha. But then again it's not mentioned as to what on earth the Katha is. For consideration, a concise example following the Katha is another hypothetical story. It goes like
"there is a story called "A", the story goes that there was a guy called XYLINA who was a writer, he wrote a story called "A". In his story he wrote about a famous 19th philosopher who again wrote a masterpiece story and yes, you guessed it right, the title of the story by famous man was "A"." Doesn't make any sense does it, so doesn't the actual masterpiece.

The story is just a benchmarking example of "wrong nesting" and "recursion". It also signifies the blunders in Hindu religion which are the gift of Puja-Karm Kaand and Vedic Period in the Indian history. Some keynotes and examples form the Katha itself can summaries the deductions:


  • Narad goes to Sri Vishu asking about the Katha( so the dude obviously doesn't have a clue about the Katha himself). However the 1st story starts with him as a protagonist. Now this is BAD nesting man, ahhh! Unless Narad is suffering from Amnesia he must remember the story, and should not bother Mr. Vishu about the same.
  • Since when women starts getting pregnant after keeping a promise. Com'on man! that's a complete Bull Sh... However, as a very knowledgeable blogger Crstal says about mythological girls, any thing and everything is possible about them.
  • In first story the poor human soul got secret news about a good business for making good bucks overnight( the Katha) and it helped him nonetheless, what confuses me is the amusing fact that why this line of business is not practiced anymore, and even if it is followed than why don't we here about the same results. Recession I Guess!
