Kundan's first suggestion that helped me

During the pooja ceremony for our new apartment, we have got some goithas (made of cow dung and hays which is dried so that can be used for burning). Goitha was earlier used as one of the main fuel for earthen stoves and it is still being used in many indian villages. Now a days it is mostly a ceremonial thing used in pooja and havans etc.
So we had a bag full of goithas left after the pooja. We were debating on how it can be used. So after waiting for 2 months, i finally decided to throw it away. Our apartment is on the first floor. To throw it away i was planning to take the bag downstairs and throw it in the open area adjacent to our society building. That bag was little heavy so i asked Kundan (now 3.5 years old) to open the gate. He innocently asked where i am going. So i told him that it is garbage and i am going to throw it out. Then he said that leave it outside our gate. He remembered that we keep our daily garbage there, so that the cleaning people can take it out. It immediately struck me that now i don't have to take this heavy bag downstairs and who knows maybe cleaning people will find a use for it. Thus because of Kundan's presence of mind i was saved from unnecessary lifting of that heavy bag. Thank you Kundan.

Chokhe Dhani (Pune)

This was a long weekend we had leave on Saturday, Sunday and on Monday(for Independence Day). Well the question to do something in this was in the air at home. While talking to one of my colleague i got to know about Chokhe Dhani (Rajasthani theme based resort). Did some enquiry about it and decided that this is the place for this weekend.

Now it has been a year in India and i have not been able to gather enough courage to take my car out it in crazy traffic. Chokhe Dhani is about 23 Km from the place we currently live. Lately i have done some practice in the car to drive it around the neighborhood and so on. This gave me some level of confidence that i will be able to manage manual transmission driving for this distance. (Though i have about 5 years of driving experience in US and have driven almost 50k miles, but you need guts to drive in India)

We left home at around 3:30 as the Chokhe Dhani timing is from 5 PM -11 PM. I had the printout from google for the directions, but those directions are not of much use. You have to do the traditional approach (ask people). Well one good thing was that we had been to Aga Khan Palace on bike and Chokhe Dhani is on the same route although a bit far ahead.

Near Bopodi bridge, i encountered my first driving problem. There were 6-8 buffaloes standing on the mid of the road and they were not ready to buzz. To make matters worse there were autos and bikes coming who will somehow push the buffaloes more close to my car. Anyhow with honking and slowly moving i overcame this problem. I am sure i will remember this moment for the rest of my life as this was the first instance of this kind of problem.

So we finally reached the place. It is almost 2 km away from the main road. There are no visible sign (or atl east we missed to see one). We found it by asking people and taking a u turn. Thankfully there was no shortage of parking which was a blessing as i am not yet good at parking in a crowded place.

The entry fee is Rs 450 per adult and Rs 300 for children between (3 and 12). Upon entering we were welcomed with tilak. Then there was a drink stand where we got jaljeera and sharbat. Very near to that was a big bell which was supposed to be hit with a very heavy hammer. We tried our hand on it. Then there came the snack stand, where they were serving kandi bhaji, kadi bati etc. Hungry as we were we had several doses of them. Then we had a cup of tea.

After this we started exploring the entertainments provided by the place. There were camel ride (but it had a big queue), horse cart ride, bullock cart ride, train ride etc. Further there were performers doing puppet show (kathputli naach), acrobat doing tricks on a thin rope and Rajasthani folk dance and song shows. But the thing which left a mark on me was the magic show.

Magic Show

========

The show was being performed by a young person. He did several tricks. In one trick he took the ring from my wife and then hid it in a cloth and asked everyone to touch it and make sure that they can feel it. One lady was asked to hold the ring with the cloth and then with the 3 taps of his magic stick he made the ring disappear. Finally ring was found hidden in a tomato.

But the best piece was the last trick. He asked people to make fist and put one on top of other persons hand, so that the top of two hands meet and asked everyone to choose among several flowers (rose, jasmine etc). And with few magic spells, he asked us to smell the hand. And truly there were fragrance coming out of our hand. I am sure that he didn't touch our hand any how. To make sure that it was not a collective hypnotism, i smelled my hand again after leaving him and fragrance was there.

Dinner

=======

They serve food in traditional Rajasthani style, with a wooden small table to keep your plate etc, while you sit on the floor. Dinner starts at 8 PM. But if you want to eat in traditional way then you may have to wait for 10-30 minutes depending on the rush. For people who can't wait that long there is a buffet system also arranged there. We decided to go for the traditional way. After about 15 minutes our turn came in. It was worth the wait. The walls of the eating hall were nicely decorated with the traditional drawings. People who served food were wearing traditional dresses. Whenever we asked what it is this item? The answer always ended in "Sa". For example "Bati Sa", "Choorma Sa". This is a vegeterian menu. We liked the "Palak Panner" very much. Almost 15 different kind of dishes if you include pickle and papad too.

Post dinner while my wife and mother were busy in getting heena on thier hand, me and my son roamed around to see what else was there. There is an aritificial cave. We decided to go through it. Some portion of the cave was dark enough to terrify you. For a moment i felt that something moved and was scared. But anyways it was fun.

Finally we had our final dose of jaljeera and decided to leave, but not before i tried my hand on the heavy hammer bell.

An year in India

Last august we were busy in packing our bags. Busy on craigslist to find buyers for the furniture etc. I remember even on the last evening we had sold few smaller items. It can happen only in US.

So now it is almost a year and it is apt to write something about the experience so far.

Good things first.

It was a joyous occasion to be present with the family in my brother's marriage. The young couple seems to be enjoying the new chapter in their life. May god bless them.

Further we went to our native village for my son's Mundan (first hair cutting ceremony). It was after 8 years for me and first time for the wife and kid. Things have changed very much there. Now we have solar lamps in our village. The roads have improved a lot. The road from Mujaffarpur to Darbhanga can be compared to expressways. (Maybe i am exaggerating here a little bit)

Workwise i like the challenge. Getting lots of opportunity to learn new things ex. we have worked on 2 agile projects. Now there is focus to learn new UI technologies which i didn't have to so far. Further learnt a couple of things about estimating software projects. Had to learn it in a hard way though. More on this in upcoming post.

Pune (the city where we are currently living) has very nice weather. It was not too hot nor too cold. Although it does rain a lot here. I don't mind that. It is pleasant to drive my motorcycle(maybe a bit dangerous too) when rain is hitting on my helmet.

Not so good things

Driving a car is pain. We have got a manual transmission car. First there is a learning involved in how to switch gears. And then you have to be careful about who is coming from which direction. So far i haven't dared to take my car to a movie theater and find a parking place. Someday i will gain that courage.

Housing expenses are huge. Rents and cost of houses have sky rocketed. I don't have a big salary but kind of earn enough as per the market. Even then i am facing this pinch. I wonder how can common government salaried person afford this.

Late evening meetings. Since being an offshore development organization we need to hold meetings with our US counterparts. And most often they start at 7:30 in the evening. But i guess that is just part of the job.

Book Reading : The Mythical Man Month

This is a book on Software Engineering by Fred Brooks. It was first published in 1975. I have just started to read it. I am finding very witty remarks by the author. Some of them are copied here.

An omlette, promised in two minutes, may appear to be progressing nicely. But when it has not set in two minutes, the customer has two choices - wait or eat it raw. Software customers have had the same choices.

Adding manpower to a late software project, makes it later.

Congratulations to All Indians

Sorry State of Indian Judiciary

These days we are seeing a season of scams in our country. CAG, 2G, Adarsh, Onion etc are just to name a few. First few days are filled with blame games and then some inquiry starts and if we are lucky someone like Raja is arrested. And it is just the beginning of a process which is so long that we will die without seeing any resolution of it.

I am talking about the judicial system of India. It is so time consuming and complex that common man rightfully wants to stay away from it. "Jane do court kachahari ke chakkar main kaun fasta hai". This is one of the reason someone will pay bribe, instead of taking it to police and court.

We continuously hear stories like these

• A case of petty theft is yet to be heard. Person is in jail for more than 2 decades
• Some film-star killed sleeping poor laborers on footpath when he was drunk driving and court is yet to deliver judgement on it.
• A divorce case took more than 4 decades
• A rich guy shoots a model and it takes so many years to punish him
• Bofors case is still pending
• And so on..

These are only some of the media sensationalized stories. There are many many more in which victims are not so influential to bring out media outcry on it. Thus their cases keep on pending from one hearing to another (which maybe an year after the last one).

So what is the root cause of it? It is simply lack of courts and judges and lack of proper information system. We need to do following

1. Increase the number of courts. Make lower courts more powerful to take on smaller issues at a good speed and with more efficiency.
2. Hire more judges and competent lawyers.
3. Get away from paper based system. Have a proper digital information system, so that all the required information for a case is present to lawyers and judges whenever they want them.

All of this require a strong political motivation. As we can see that many of our politicians are already involved in one or more scams, so they have less incentive to bring any changes in judiciary. A Supreme court judge recently lamented that "Less than 1% is budgeted for Judicial System". So we as citizens need to demand from lawmakers to take corrective action in this slow functioning judiciary system.

Well all is not that gloomy. I am very happy at some of the recent developments. Right to Information Act is kind of a revolution. This is putting pressure on government officials to get their act together and making them understand that they are at their post to serve the common man not the other way around. Recently read the news that Delhi Police is putting all the FIRs online. These all are step in right direction. But a lot more need to be done and they should be done soon. Because we all know that "Justice delayed is Justice Denied".

Terrace house and a nest

"Look what is here" - shouted the husband, to his wife who was cooking in the kitchen. He was pointing at a nest in the ventillation area in the terrace of their apartment.

Mr. Bimal Jha and his wife Kavya Jha has been living in this house for past 35 years. This was their dream house, bought after their return from overseas. It was not been an easy decision to come back. But once they were back, they had taken the new life with an embrace and started with the living activities. One of the top priorities was to find a place of their own. A home where they were going to live for the rest of their lives. And this was the house they have chosen.

In this house they have seen the ups and downs of life. They had 2 children. Son Kaushal is now in States. He is married and working in a well respected firm. Daughter Baruni is in Australia with her husband. Both the children are urging them to stay with them, especially since Bimal retired last year. They will argue "What are they doing there alone? They should come here and play with the grand kids. Who will take care of them, if something happens?" As much merit is in their arguments, but Bimal and Kavya don't want to settle in a foreign land again. Bimal likes to hang around with the friends who are also retired. Kavya is content with the stores and shops which she has known for all these years. Further they plan to revisit all the places in India.

So one fine day after feeling little bored after the morning tea and newspaper Bimal decided to do a little cleaning of the house. He got the broom, ladder and the stool. Kavya had already asked him to be careful and not climb the ladder too high unless he wants to break his bones in this age. When he was in the terrace, he saw some leaves in the ventillation area. And then he found this. A nest. To this nest he had shouted to his wife. She didn't hear him first time. So he shouted again in a little louder voice. Kavya came out with a spatula in her hand. She said - "Why are you so excited? And what are you doing so up there? God he doesn't listen to me." He said - "Come see here. It is a nest." "Nest!! What kind of nest?" She said. "Of course it's a bird's nest. What else did you think will be up here." - he retorted back. "And look there are three little eggs too".

It was a pigeon's nest. High rise buildings have suited both humans and pigeons equally. Finding of new members in the apartment brought excitement in their life. Very now and then Kavya will go there and check if everything is alright. Mother bird usually was found there, protecting her loved eggs. Father bird will go out and get food. They observed all this with very happy and content eyes. Bimal and Kavya in all silliness also named the eggs. Bholu, Molu, Polu. They used to put some roti, rice etc on the floor, so that father bird will not have to fly very far away and can spend some quality time with the mother bird and the eggs.

One morning when they woke up, they heard some more noises coming from the nest. Bimal got his high stool and looked at it. To his amazement he saw that instead of the eggs, now there were small birds. He at once ran away to Kavya and told her the good news. Both were very happy. "We have to celebrate this" - Bimal said. "Go get some sweets. We will offer it to deities for the well being of the kids" - Kavya said. So did Bimal. It was very joyous. For next few days if they had to visit some friends for dinner or lunch, all their attention was back at home. As soon as they return from home they will check on the birds.

All was going well, when suddenly Bimal fell seriously ill. He has developed some kind of infection in lungs and doctors has advised him to do complete bed rest. His son came back and said - " I don't want to hear another argument. You must have to come to US. Here the atmosphere is so polluted. You will be treated by best doctors over there." This incident terrified Kavya too. She also felt that at least for a while they should go there. When Bimal will get well they will come back again. In couple of days their tickets were arranged. Bimal will come sneakily and check on the birds. He was happy that the little birds were growing up. They had small wings now and were chirping very happily.

Their flight was on next Friday and it would reach US on Sunday. They felt both sad and excited. Sad to leave the place and their little birdies, but excited at the prospect of seeing grand kid. Next few days just flew by in preparing and making sure that everything is taken care of while they are away. On Friday when they were putting the bags in rental car, they looked at the terrace and found that little birds were also flying near the nest. This sight gave them the relief that now Bholu, Molu, Polu are ready to face the world and don't need their help. With this contentment they went away.

A Sample Web Application - 2 (Junit & Emma)

This is in continuation with my previous post

A Sample Web Application - 1

Now i have added following

• Junit

Junit is a unit testing framework for Java. To use Junit with maven all i had to include it as a dependency in pom.xml

Then i wrote a test class (MatchingUsernamePasswordValidatorTest) for testing the isValidLogin(IUserContext) method of class (MatchingUsernamePasswordValidator)

As you can notice the test classes name just appends Test to the class name being tested.

This test class contains 2 tests. One for the happy scenario in which user name and password matches and another for negative scenario in which username and password don't match.

Now run

$mvn test

At the end of the output you can expect to see something like this

Emma is a code coverage tool. I have been recently introduced to it. With this you can know that how much of your code was executed during the time of your test execution. Again you have to include it in your pom.xml as a dependency.

So your pom.xml dependency list may have something like this

Now you can run emma reporting using following

$mvn emma:emma

You

can expect to see an output like following

Reading: Wise & Otherwise (Sudha Murty)

Here are some of the good lines from this book.

Conversation
I have a theory about conversation. You can call it an empirical formula. Quantitatively speaking, 'conversation' is inversely proportional to economic standing. If you are travelling by bus, your fellow passengers will get into conversation with you very quickly and without any reservation. If you are travelling by first class on a train, people will be more reserved. If you are travelling by air, then the likelihood of entering into conversation is quite small. If you are on first class in an international flight, then you may travel twenty four hours without exchanging a single word with the person sitting next to you.

Reading: Unaccustomed Earth (Jhumpa Lahiri)

Recently we bought 2 books from the makeshift street side bookstore in Parihaar Chowk. One is "Unaccustomed Earth" by Jhumpa Lahiri and other is "Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham.

Before this i have not got a chance to read any other work of Jhumpa Lahiri. She has written famous books ("The Interpreter of Maladies" and "The Namesake").

This books is a collection of short stories, divided in 2 parts. Part one contains 4 unrelated stories, whereas part two contains 3 stories which are linked to one another.

All of the stories revolve around the Indians (first or second generation) living in US. It is quite a fascinating read. Author has captured the psyche of characters very vividly. The relationships between father and daughter, between mother and daughter, between brother and sister and so on is explored in the stories in their given context. I was able to relate to many of the points of story because of my stay in US.

Although all stories are brilliant, my favorite ones are "Unaccustomed Earth", "Hell-Heaven", "Only Goodness" and "Once in a Lifetime". I have read fiction after 8-9 months and it was very refreshing to do so. Looking forward to read other above mentioned books in near future.

Aga Khan Palace

Yesterday, we got a chance to go to Aga Khan Palace. This was our first trip to see something after coming back to India. It is a place of great historical importance as Mahatma Gandhi and Kasturba Gandhi were kept in Jail here during freedom struggle days.

We had taken the directions from Google, but soon realized that in India human network of finding directions is more useful than having a printout of directions. You should have a general knowledge of which way you want to go, rest you can ask.

We found the place very calm when we went inside. The campus contains very beautiful garden and green grass lawns. There is a nominal entry fee of Rs 5 per person. There are 4-5 open halls on the first floor where famous prisoners like Smt Sarojini Naidu were kept. These rooms have very rare photographs of Gandhiji, Vinoba Bhave, Abdul Gaffar Khan etc. It is very emotional to watch these selfless great people. Wonder from where did they get that kind of courage and high morals. Very rare quality in current times. So i said a silent thank you to those who didn't care for their lives so that i can have a good life today.

Then went to the Samadhi Sthal of Kasturba Gandhi and Mahadeoji Bhai. We said our prayers. There was a small khadi store near by. We purchased few items along with very delicious Ghee cookies.

A Sample Web Application - 1

I am trying to learn technologies using a practical approach. Right now my focus is to create a sample e-commerce web application using Java Technologies.

The technologies of focus are

1) Spring : For dependency injection

2) Struts2 : For MVC framework

3) Hibernate : For persistence

4) Maven: For build management

5) Tomcat 6 : Servlet Container

6) SVN: Source code managemnt

Since building a full scale e-com app is not in scope for small scale learning approach, i am going to take baby steps.

My first step is

Create a login funcitonality

Allow user to enter username and password. Right now the system will just say a successful validation if both username and password are same. It doesn't involve DB interaction and still able to use Spring and Struts 2 integration.

Build Instructions

Use this command to anonymously check out the latest project source code:

# Non-members may check out a read-only working copy anonymously over HTTP.

svn checkout http://amj-ecom.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ amj-ecom-read-only

You will need a svn client for this. I am using Tortoise SVN.

To build it you just need to run ($mvn package from your command prompt). It will create a war file ecom.war in target directory. I have created a small script cleandeploy.bat for easy deployment of app to a tomcat container. You will need to edit this file to point to the correct path of tomcat dir as per your system.

Any suggestion and feedback is welcome.

I intend to add more posts as and when i add more functionality in this project.

Red Box

He opened the box. The red box. He has been pondering for quite long. Unsure of the contents inside. Unsure if it was a practical joke played by one of his friends.

Past few days have been really tough on him. He was trying his best to do the right things. But it doesn't matter. Whatever he tried, boomranged on him. To others he was living a perfect happy life. He had a nice paying job in one of the best firms in town. He had a beautiful wife and a very darling daughter. What else one needs in life. But there was discomfort and discontentment. And especially for past few days it was getting worse. His boss was throwing all kind of unwanted work at him and was expecting faster results. As if he had a magical wand to do it. He was supposed to go to onsite project, but that seemed far from happening. Long hours at work were affecting his health and family life too.

Yesterday he was going through all the humdrums of his daily routine. It was approaching lunch time and although he was feeling hungry, he didn't want to go to the crowded cafeteria. He didn't want to sit with the large crowd, where everyone was constantly taking to other and making all kind of noises. By GOD, today he can't tolerate them. On the other hand eating on his desk was even more disgusting. Invariably one or the other colleague will pop up in his cube and will say "Wow eating alone !!!". Who gave them the right to enter in his solitude. So he decided to wait. He couldn't concentrate on his work, so he decided to take a stroll in the nearby park. This park was a haven for him. Whenever he felt stressed, he came here and spent some quiet time. The fresh air, the rustling sound of leaves and occasionally a bird flying nearby energized him. So he came to the park and was taking his usual walk around the small lake. He was still thinking of his problems and how to solve them. Suddenly a thing caught his eye. It was a bright red box. It was lying under a tree. He looked around to see if someone has left it there by mistake. But there was no one there. Curiosity took hold of him. He decided to have a look at it.

The box looked like a lunch box. It was almost brand new, as if someone has just opened the cover. But there was no cover box near by. The lid seemed to be firmly put on it. He cried out loud "Who has left this box?". But there was no one there to answer him. He was hesitant to touch it. Who knows who has left it there? But he picked it any ways. It was little heavy. Then he noticed a small colorful card on the ground. As soon as he picked up the card, he was scared. It was written "To Ankush, It will solve all your problems." He almost dropped the box and card. It was for him. How in world someone will leave this for him. Who is there playing tricks? Soon he was angry. He shouted and hurled some abuses towards that person. But there was no one there. He thought "To hell with them". He left the box and card as it is and started leaving the place. He didn't go very far then the idea struck him lets find out who is doing this trick. So he hid behind another tree and started waiting. He was also keeping an eye on the tree where the box was. But no body came there. He was hiding there for almost couple of hours but nothing happened. Then he realized that he has been away from office for quite some time and his stupid boss must be looking out for him and thus decided to return to office thinking that whoever is playing this trick will get tired of it.

On returning to office he was caught up in work and forgot all about it. He even forgot that he hadn't taken his lunch. As usual it got very late and it was near 9 PM. Almost every one was gone. He too decided to leave and then he again recalled the incident of afternoon. He almost laughed that he had given a suitable reply to whoever was playing game with him. However just to check, he drove near the park and decided to have one more look at that tree. See if the box is still there or gone. It was dark and no human soul was in the park. With a hurried pace, he went near the tree and to his horror he saw the box as he had left in the afternoon. He picked up the box and card and returned to his car. He decided to inspect it at home. But soon decided that it was better that he do it alone. His wife will ask so many questions and he didn't had that kind of energy and patience. He thought he will check it later in the night.

His morning alarm at 5:30 woke him up. He couldn't sleep well last night and was dreaming all sorts of thing. Both his wife and daughter were fast asleep. Quietly he got down and went to the garage to get the box. He brought it in his living room and put it on the center table. He was still not sure if it is a wise idea to open the box. Who knows what is in it. Maybe some drugs. He kept on staring at it. Clock was approaching 7. Very soon his wife and kid will wake up. So he decided to open it. With trembling hands he opened the lid. A very nice smell came out of it. He looked inside. He was relieved and couldn't stop smiling. Soon tears started flowing and he felt sleepy and had simply dozed off on the sofa. Later doctors pronounced him dead at around 7.
