QC : Quality Control. Do we have a quality control mechanism for our life? Ask this question to yourself  and QC the answer. These days Quality has become a rare element. Quality is not something which can be incorporated in to the system suddenly. Its an habit. It is very easy for any of us to loose the quality aspect by looking at peoples activities around you. But we should not do this.  Quality is something which you follow even when no one is watching.  Let you be a student / teacher / software engineer  / or any professional in-general if you miss the quality component you have lost everything.  At the initial stages focussing on quantity may look like giving you the success but actually it is not.  Quality is an habit which need to be inculcated in to the young minds.  There is a famous quote by Mahathma Gandhiji : " It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity ". So please don't do any task simply for the sake o

A small story: Long ago, (Not so long ago) there was a Guruji who had few students. He used to take his classes under a tree. One day when he was taking class there was a Cat roaming around that area disturbing the concentration of students.  So the Guruji decided to tie that cat to a near by tree and gave it some milk to drink so that it would keep quite. The next day Guruji had to visit some other place. So he asked one of his senior students to handle that day's classes. As per the words of Guruji, that senior student was ready to take the class. But he seemed to be disturbed and worried. His friends asked him the reasons. And he replied: " I am ready to take the class. But what to do? The cat is missing. Our Guruji used to  tie the cat to that tree while he was taking the classes. So i also need to follow the same thing. But to my worry the Cat is Missing". Most of our modern day activities are like this only. We have forgotten the soul of the concepts and simply stic

No.. No.. This is not yet another philosophical post.  I was in need of opening large text files. Large in order of 2+ GB for a single text file.  Tried with notepad. Result : Need to press Ctrl + Alt + Del to rescue my comp With Notepad++, my favourite text editor, it was struggling to open it.  Tried with Wordpad, Office 2007 Word etc.. Not satisfied with the performance. Then found Large Text File Viewer. A freeware. Sized only  367 KB .  http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/Other-Office-Tools/Large-Text-File-Viewer.shtml To my surprise it was opening the large files without even a single second delay.

The regular expression syntax is slightly diff

I found the result rendering of Google broken as the logo and next previous buttons going for a toss... Is it a bug? Really dont know... I am not able to reproduce the same.

Event I On a lazy sunday morning, I was watching a Test match between India Vs SriLanka. Indian bowlers were getting smashed all across the ground.. Btw, cricket is not the theme of this post. Commentators Tony Craig and Arun lal were talking about the number of crows in and around the stadium, which was more interesting than the game itself. Arun Lal was admiring about the birds and was mentioning about the importance of crows in the Hindu mythology. Event II  In the afternoon, same day, i was at the doorstep of a clinic in pondicherry town. Many vehicles were passing by. Among that a Tata Sumo, suddenly stopped at the cross link between two roads near by. A door was opened and a fellow was vomitting. Thanks to the specialty of pondicherry. :) that has gone into him. The place was looking very disgusting. Without worrying about all these things the road was busy. I was thinking about who will clean this???? With in 5 mins or so, there landed our hero - The crow. Started cleaning i
