The Story of the PING Program

One of the most widely used utility in the history of networking is PING. I have used this extensively to troubleshoot countless issues in my 4+ yrs of career but never bothered to know about this program. Last night i just stumbled on one of the site which depicts entire PING Program’s journey, thought of sharing this with u. This book will surely earn a place on my Bookshelf, interesting read..

Yes, it’s true! I’m the author of ping…

Ever wondered the size of 1GB RAM 20 years ago!!

Are you ready to use Free windows?

Microsoft filed a patent for a new “advertising services structure” which says about the use of advertisements through its windows OS. Its one more way of delivering ads as Google does by analysing the searching habits of the consumer. If this patent is implemented on time then there is no surprise that you will soon be getting a free windows copy.

But again only time can tell how the consumer will react to these kind of OS’s. By any chance If you ask any open source user then the reaction would be quiet different, they prefer to use Linux than the free Windows with annoying ads..:-)

How about you.. R u ready to use free Windows?

How to get Motivate and stay Motivated!!

A very difficult question to answer indeed…

I know motivation is not something which i can get from outside, it should come from within and there should a some strong urge or desire to drive that. From past 2 weeks i am feeling like lethargic and no mood for anything feeling like going nowhere. I think this might be becoz of the nature of the work which i am doing now, sometimes feels monotonous. I wonder why me.. bcoz when i look back now for the work which i did in the past 6 months or so, i shouldn’t feel like this.

I successfully learned new technologies and aligned myself to a new project which is completely different from what i was doing before, did CCIP in less than 10 weeks, executing the assigned project within schedule, had a nice time with my family and friends and sometimes i do blogging and so on. Wondering how it can happen for a person like me who is enjoying his life so well both personally and professionally,but again it is a matter of time i believe.

After much consulting and research i came to know that this is just a transient phase which can happen to anyone. The only thing is you need to be focussed enough to get rid of this so called transient phase. Now question is how to come out of this, answer is self-motivate. To get motivate does not makes me great but stay motivate does matter a lot.. Thats how i think i can overcome this devil. huh……..but how to get motivate and stay motivate.

Everyone knows there is no magic formula to get motivate and be successful in life, when i do observe all the successful people around me, one common thing which they share among them is, they are all doing what they love and they love what they do…! as simple as that.

Sadly for most of us we dont know what we are good at and what we love, bcoz people who love their work, they do it passionately for 18 hrs a day that makes them ticking. In my case i do love my job which i am doing now but struggling to get a start. As i said earlier it is very difficult for one to be get and stay motivate all the time, there should be some strong force is needed to drive that motivation.

The force can be anything, it may be ur own dream company,car,home blah.blah….. for me the inner force is to achieve CCIE which i am planning to start my preparation from next week. Hope this urge of getting CCIE should make me ticking and stay motivate at least for sometime now.

Here are some of the key points on how to stay motivated:

* We must define success for ourselves.

* Be aware of our own strengths and weaknesses

* Your personal solutions lie within you.

* To sustain motivation, do better than in the past.

* Motivation often comes from a challenge.

* It is necessary at times to make a positive out of a negative.

* The most important thing for an achievement-orientated person is to have a clear goal.

* I believe motivation is closely tied to purpose.

Gaalipata….a fun filled movie!!

Last night myself and my friend Suresh went to watch Gaalipata movie. We went with very high expectation as this movie is directed by Yograj Bhat of Mungaru male fame. Though he didn’t disappointed us, but it wont be a phenomenal hit as Mungaru male. Again Bhat has showed his excellence in every frame of the celluloid. The maturity of the director shows how well he has managed to give equal importance to all three lead characters. Nowhere in the movie you will get a chance to take a break as it is so funfilled. The dialogue are exceptionally well and moreover Ganesh’s delivery made it even more catchy.

The story is all about 3 young lads who have fed up with Bengaluru’s cosmopolitan life wants a change and decided to move Mugilupete for sometime, where they will meet a family with 3 young girls and get engaged. Though nothing great about the story line but Bhat and his crew made it so good that you will enjoy each and every moment of this movie.

Camera work and soothing music stands out better than anything else in the whole movie. Jayanth Kaaykini has once again proved his mettle by giving such a wonderful song ಮಿಂಚಾಗಿ ನೀನು ಬರಲು ನಿಂತಲ್ಲೇ ಮಳೆಗಾಲ… which Sonu executed very well.
Sometimes you will feel like Bhat is still in Mungaru male hangover, as some of the sequences/dialogue are quiet same from that movie. Venu excelled in his awesome camera work which is another highlight of the movie.

Overall a very good fun filled entertaining movie… You will definitely regret if you miss this movie bcoz you wont get such movies often and often. We need to encourage these kind of movies which will take our Kannada cinema into the golden era of 60’s and 70’s.

I came out of the theatre humming ಕವಿತೆ ಕವಿತೆ ನೀನೇಕೆ ಪದಗಳಲಿ ……..ಕುಳಿತೆ!!!!!!

Hmmmmmmm!!!!
