Death


Death. This one fearful word. One word that has always been a part of human History no matter which ever history you have read. Death is the only constant and definte thing that there is in the whole universe. There have been so many philosophers in human history trying to find out the meaning of life, why we are here what is our destiny. I am sure if you google it you will find thousands of definations of life but DEATH has only one meaning no intellectual interpretations no paying thousands of dollars to get front row seats of great men trying to understand its meaning. No matter your color, your religion, your country death is the same everywhere no bigotism, no debates.
 
Death is probably the one thing that every human in the world has to experience. It is the most truly brilliant natures way of making us understand the concept of eauality. No matter how rich or poor you are, how evil or good things you have done, Hitler died but so did Gandhiji. The concept of death is so powerful and so omnipresent that even Jesus Christ, or Lord Krishna coudnt evade death. Death is so beautiful a concept so fanatically communist it in a way, everybody is equal in deaths eyes.

Ever thought why don’t you see any other species worshiping a god or deity or anything. I have always wondered why there are no signs of any other species in the world who worship a god or nature or anything at all. After all they too are living beings they do have souls which do need salvation. Some will argue that human are intelligent species and that’s why this difference. Well judging from what fanatical ways of guiding that today's religious leaders are using I don’t think there is too much intelligence required. Then why we as a race are we obsessed with GOD. Some optimist  will say HOPE. But is it? 

Why is someone called a god. He/She has super powers, he is intelligent has foresight and the all the normal clichés. All these things even humans are capable of doing, like flying, killing using a gun shot etc etc. then why do we still worship GOD. Well the only and the only reason why we worship GOD is because god is immortal he cannot die. This is truly the only quality that differentiates us from god.  Even chrisianity one of the most dominant religions in the world who worships Jesus Christ but still don’t proclaim him as god but a son of god. Why because he died.

How to Setup GNS3


How to set up GNS3

GNS3 is one of the most awesome and brilliant opens source software developed till now. It is awesome for laboratory work and especially for those giving Cisco certification exams this is a boon as now they don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on cisco equipment.

GNS3 is an emulator and not simulator. It actually sends packets between the routers rather than just simulating and the most awesome thing is that you can capture this packets using a packet sniffing software like wireshark and study those packets in detail.

I am writing this blog because it took me more than 5 hours just to install and get it started working properly. It takes a little bit of time and patience before u can start using it full flegedly.

1. GNS3 is an open source and you can download the software easily by following the link given. The  ttp://www.gns3.net/. You  Should download the windows all in one as you will get dynamips and all  the other required software with i  One thing while downloading the software make sure that you download  the cisco image unpacker binary as highlighted in the picture. It will be useful afterwards when we install the cisco IOS.



2. Open the downloaded file and install GNS3 its pretty straightforward and does not require any help in doing so.
3.  After installing click on the icon of GNS3 that should be visible now that you have installed the software. ON starting a window pops up that has two steps select the first step where you can get your basic configurations for GNS3 setup done.


4. Once you selected step 1 a screen will show up giving you different options and settings. On the left side select dynamips and first of all change the folder settings from the temporary folder to a new folder where you will want to save your GNS3 projects. After doing that just press the test button at the bottom of the screen and see if its working properly or not. Your screen should somewhat look like this.



5. Once that is done you can go to the next step that is adding the Cisco IOS images . This is probably a difficult part and you can get an IOS from a Cisco switch using a falsh drive or yu can download it or buy it from the cisco site.
Download GNS 3 and Cisco 1700, 2600, 7200 IOS in one pack:
http://rapidshare.com/files/130264941/GNS3-0.5-win32-all-in-one.rar
Pass: sumptuousworld
After downloading the Cisco IOS use the Cisco image unpacker to unpack the IOS or use WinZip which works equally fine. Just add it to WinZip and extract the file. The size of the file increases to almost double. Do not use the IOS without unpacking t otherwise you the routers in the GNS3 will take ages to start.

6. Once you have unpacked the IOS go to the second step in the GNS3 and upload the unpacked files. The screenshot should look like this



7. Once you are done with this you are ready to use your GNS3 make sure to enable the Idle PC value once you start using the software. ENJOY!!!!

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi


MKG probably one of the most spoken about and the most seen (on the greenbacks) of all time in our country’s rich history. Today there is a lot of skepticism about his ideals and principles and even debating his contributions in the freedom struggle. It is very sad and frustrating when people criticize him without understanding his ideas. There is a kind of notion in the minds of the youth today that we could have got freedom much earlier had we not followed Gandhiji. I would like to put forth my views on why we should think otherwise.

Non-Violence:  a concept so simple but yet so difficult to understand and follow. Gandhiji not only understood the spiritual upliftment and the self esteem that it builds but also its practical value.  In a physical battle there are many factors involved that can determine the outcome, apart from your determination and your love for your country. But using non violence the only thing needed is the determination to fight for your freedom and your rights. This is clearly evident from the fact that millions and millions of women who may not have physical strength but had the determination to fight for their country. Surprisingly even today military has reservations about enlisting women. It is phenomenal where in a country where women are so tied up in its customs and traditions that they should come out and fight with the men shoulder to shoulder for their right to freedom. No freedom struggle in the world can boast of such participation apart from ours. In a sense Gandhiji did more for women upliftment than any women’s bill or reservation can do.

Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err - Mahatma Gandhi’. He understood that the ultimate goal was not freedom from British rule but freedom in itself. A prime example is Russian revolution where after the revolution was successful czars were thrown out and tyranny was at an end but afterwards a civil war broke out. People who had fought all their lives knew nothing but to fight, had suddenly been handed over the job to administer the country. Gandhiji was well aware of this and knew that our country was not capable enough to work on its own and needed British help to administer. It would have been like giving a farmer run a mill to run which he wants to but has no idea how to.

The most important thing here to understand is that it was the values and his ideas that were great more than Gandhiji himself as a person. It was the not the charisma or leadership of Gandhiji that should be treasured but his ideas. If it was for his personal abilities then it would not have been possible for Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King Jr. to use the same ideology to successfully attain freedom. I would like to end by saying that Gandhiji was not a God, he was not perfect he may have made mistakes in his life but judge his ideals and not the man himself, it is the ideas that made him to what he was and not the other way round.

Things that went wrong at the CWG ceremony


First of all let me tell you...nobody expected the opening ceremony to be good except me..dont smirk..i juss knew it..i know its hard to believe...but then wasnt the successful  opening ceremony hard to believe...compared to its success my supernatural powers seem so believable..isnt it?

Now that its over and everybody is shouting their heads off 'proud to an Indian' let me tell you wat was wrong with the games.

The most important thing that went wrong was that there was no separate GARBA show. Add falguni pathak to that n WOOOh wat an awesome night tat would have been.



 
 I mean look at her... she's the coolest dude ever to be born...even mother nature is surprised at creating such a masterpiece of a dude and at least the gujju’s would have paid for d ticket….

The second reason what i think went wrong was the speeches given by our great esteemed leaders. I mean come on even a 12 year old kid can give a better speech with public speaking lessons than our prime minister. I know he is a super intelligent guy a great accountant, a honest person..blah blah blah.....come on!!!!..a leaders isn’t supposed to have these qualities....its freakin weird when the media does not have any dirt on u to splash on the screens 24hours a day...there is no fun in having him as our prime minister.


U know who would be fun….. our own Mayawati…..think abt it…..if she was giving a speech in her own custom made english..how fun would be tat...n plus we would have our second wonder of the world.....STATUE OF MAYAWATI...tat would be soo cool..m definately voting for her in the next elections.



The third reason i think tat was missing was there was no SMS request at the end of the ceremony. ‘PLS SEND YOUR RESPONSES IF YOU LIKED THE SHOW (3Rs per sms) and PLS SEND YOUR RESPONSES IF U DIDNT LIKE IT AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE (12rs per msg). How are they gonna earn back all the money they have spent on the stupid stadiums and villages. n yeah even though its 12rs for an sms if u dont like it, still thats where d money comes from because every Indian is a smartass who likes to criticize everything…if u don’t believe me check out my Facebook page u’ll start believing.




The fourth thing that went wrong was the announcement lady...come on even the lady at the railway platform announces better than that. You know who would be the coolest announcer for the ceremony 'BIG BOSS' ofcourse. It is one of the most watched shows in India and i seriously cant think of any other reason why people watch the show apart from listening to the awesome hypnotic inspiring voice of BIG BOSS.Think of the TRP what would've have been possible and the ads atleast we could have recovered the money spent on toilet paper. Dont laugh the amount spent on toilet paper was equal to half od the budget for d whole common wealth games. N the world say India dosent spend much on Hygiene. IN YOUR FACE WORLD.


And the final thing that went wrong was SURESH KALMADI….i know I saved the best for the last……..

See  tiger takes a picture with him and he has to suffer. ONLY 1400 left. Wat do u expect y did he take pictures with Suresh kalmadi, its his fault. Don’t come to me for donations to save him. Why the hell should I pay for his  mistakes.
