Hieeee!   it was another fire fighting day in my office, a service stopped working for no good reasons; anyways Mr. Prawal gupta, our Managing partner in UK , was visiting us , and we [ employees ] thought "why not give him a treat ?"

So, Praveen Kumar [ apna local bindaas project managgger * , woh kirket waala nahi :) ] asked me to invite both of our bosses and the rest of team to come and join us for a lunch; for which all the hungry stomachs' agreed; "Mein toh ghar se lunch laata hoon" but i thought i'll give it a skip today.

They all left for Atta Market, CSM Mall in two cabs, and Me, Praveen decided to come by Bike, toh fir ek honey waaley Papa ka [ "samajh gaye naa ! :)"] bojh apney pichhli seat par lekar hum nikal padey atta ki ore.

Skinny, moti, aur sexy punjaabi ladkiyan taadtey huey [Taadtey - boley toh aankh seenkna, ab yeh kya hota hai, yeh samjhaaney ka time ko naa beta mere paas, je reader chhori hai toh saturday ko aaja, TwoSON de doon !], haan toh apun pahunch gaye CSM  MAAAL, and we joined in at Punjabi tadka restaurant.

ab muddey ki baat, Praveen wanted to Ask Tarun [my iitian boss] ,and Prawal [he's a fellow iitian with Tarun] , that when should a guy start preparing for IIT, and Tarun, prawal replied satisfactorily, though i didn't took much part in this conversation, i hardly know about iit's, but it put me in thoughts for a while

when i was in 8th , 9th or even 11th, 12th, God promise mujhkko bilkul nahi pata tha yeh hoti kya hai?, i was like a lost kid, woh "Taarey zammen Par" waala Chu*** bachcha hai naa, bilkul waisa tha mein :); socha yaar "maa baap ko aajkal kitna pata hai, IIT, FIIT", Tabhi Tarun sir na bataya ki, udhar par back to back exam hotey hain, aur Discipline is hard, aur haan curse words ki bhi baat hui, fir dimaag ke ghodey chaley aur apney graduation ke din aaye - discipline ?  yeh kya hota hai ?   yaad hai woh mussorie ki trip, apun 5 yaar they, ek car mein, aur woh B****C*** toh koi 500000 baar use kiya tha humney, thank god meri behan nahi hai, varna bechaari ko kitna khatra ho jaata tha.....

Rest - abey yeh aaram waala hai, bachi hui post baad mein kabhi likhoonga.....

SO I happened to be in position to write some C code, to copy the contents of a file line by line to an array of character pointers; for a .net guy it's nothing but array of strings, and each string would contain a line of this file, and we had to iterate line by line....seems easy so I came up with this code....

I initialised  the variables like

/* PS - it's a wrong code...I'll narrate the problem after U see the code...... */

char c[256]={0};
  FILE *file;

static char *recogArgv[6];

  file = fopen("MyArgs.txt","r");

if(file==NULL)
  {
      printf("No arguments supplied in the MyArgs..or the file doesn't exist");
      return 1;
  }

/* here goes my code to iterate line by line and put variables into the array of char*/
  else
  { int i = 0;     
      while(fgets(c,256,file)!=NULL)
      {              recogArgv[i] = c;        i = i + 1;               
      }
      fclose(file);}

so every time i ran this "Else" loop. it did get the new line in variable c but always, when i iterate i found that all the contents in the array of char* are same , obvious?

coz the c is nothing but a pointer, and it ought just copy the pointer address to the recogArgv, leading to the problem of same content in all the items of this array.

solution?    i did live search, Google search and nothing....people are talking about malloc, calloc, free....Guys  I am a .net guy and i want an API, I don't get registers...and hey I did found an API. and here's the right code...it uses strdup API to get me a duplicate address for the c which I would pass to my recogArgv and problem solved....

/* The perfect Code */

char c[256]={0};
  FILE *file;

static char *recogArgv[6];

  file = fopen("MyArgs.txt","r");

if(file==NULL)
  {
      printf("No arguments supplied in the MyArgs..or the file doesn't exist");
      return 1;
  }

/* here goes my code to iterate line by line and put variables into the array of char*/
  else
  { int i = 0;     
      while(fgets(c,256,file)!=NULL)
      {             

recogArgv[i] = strdup(c);  /*The use of strdup not only made my program pointer safe, but also helped me from getting into the malloc, calloc stuff */

        i = i + 1;               
      }
      fclose(file);}

Cheers!

And i've bought it :)   yippeee...just waiting to buy a new connection; any suggestions- i want a GSM connec with GPRS in it.....

So I just recently, had to sort the arraylist of dates, though i could've done it with a normal sorting algo, but i thought i should do it .net way.

all I did here is to derive is class from Comparer Generic of type DateTime

and override the function Compare, the function, inside this function we make use of CompareTo function of Type DateTime.

Allright let's see how i used it.....

         /// <summary>
        /// Returns the sorted array of dates
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="DateTimes"></param>
        /// <returns></returns>
        public ArrayList GetSortedDatesASC(ArrayList DateTimes)
        {
            DateTimes.Sort(new DateTimeComparer(false));
            return DateTimes;
        }

class DateTimeComparer : Comparer<DateTime>
  {
      private bool _sortDescending = false;

      //pass true to the constructor to sort descending
      public DateTimeComparer(bool descending)
      {
          _sortDescending = descending;
      }

      public override int Compare(DateTime x, DateTime y)
      {
             if (_sortDescending)
                 return y.CompareTo(x);
             else
                 return x.CompareTo(y);
      }
  }

Ciao!   Merry Christmas

I am becoming a member for this convention...

what about providing Loving Asylum to all the refugees in love.

Issue n°161 : Convention of those wounded in love at Warrior Of Light

I didn't wanted to hear what's wrong with him, and the parents. I told my self. At any rate, it's got nothing to do with me. i pushed the thoughts out of my mind, i felt the breath of that ghosted lie on my face as i walked through the long, thronging way home on this simmer november noon.

The ambessador brushed past me, and came to halt as if it's an old friend. "I searched for you everywhere." Devenier seized me by arm, and before i could speak or even recognize him, "dude i have been to the most unspeakably foul places looking for you, i couldn't go to your home, you know why" he said , as i knew why he can't come to my place.

"well dude, i suppose you are the only one, who can help Vikki (Devenier's friend). Leti (Vikki's heartthrob, who keeps kicking him like anything)'s cold heart can unfold, if you just help us" Devenier said.

I didn't had an idea, i am myself a known failure in love, and i couldn't charm a stone, leave Leti, i can't make her do anything ever.

"Yeah! well, i wish him the best," i frowned, "but, i am hungry, and lunch must be ready at home by now, you can let me off here".

"But, no its not possible" Devenier objected, "Leti, is a lot stubborn woman, she could refuse gold or diamonds if someone insisted, that she should take them. She will not participate in the strategy unless someone convinces her, someone like you, and this must be done in an hour from now, sharp at 5:36"

"And what makes you think i can make her do something, you know how she looks at me each time, we all are around, she's herself told you guys several times in my absence that she feels i am staring her, and i might have dreams for her in my mind; she thinks i am crazy about girls, and the way she talks with Vikki says that she thinks he's a clown, and not a good match for him in this world'

"You are the only one of us, she deosn't hate, or hasn't hated in some time of past, she's a grown up girl, and certainly she's said those things about you, but she know you  are a young guy, and you have a human limit of control, she adores your intelligence. she'll listen to you, i am sure of it, and with out you plan will fail, Vikki has already risked his life to made this plan successful, you can't imagine how much, dude HELP!"  Devenier said, he was trying to talk me in it, as he knew i am fond of praise, he did his bit.

'Well nobody told me anything about it,' I complained, still thinking of my lunch, and home.

'But that's exactly why, i have called you several times since friday, i knew you must be on for your dose at NMH, but i thought you might would like to talk before you go for sleep, i came to know you were in Lucknow before that, but you never picked the call. you have no choice dude, you've got to help him, i know you have a morbid belief in love, and a fascination for the madness that love puts in its victims" Devenier said.

'i would never bet on my convincing capabilities, Devenier' I said.

'Leti knows about you man, and now she has this caring attitude for you" Devenier said.

It was an alarming tone in my mind, who told her, and how bare the person might have told her, about it, it's not something life taking, but i had this idea that Vikki must've talked her in it, to make her cry, and have her sympathy and let her share his shoulder, he's done it in past, i knew he once told her that 'Devenier had Cancer" :) 'Oh! Crap Devenier, what the hell you guys told her, i don't know much about myself, and you shared what...i don't know"

"Don't worry, bro, everything will be fine, we'll limit it later, we'll make it sound like a miracle later."

The amby got pulled onto Safdarjung Ralway station, Vikki was there, and his sister ( i never asked her name, she's a beautiful intelligent girl, and known for putting end to every argument).

"Hey! Bhagwan! you'e here man!" he shaked with both of his hands, and so firmly that i was shaking totally. 'i thought you weren't coming'.

'Where is Leti' Devenier asked, "she's there observing the flowers" vikram pointed towards her, Leti looked like an angel, she's pale, and skinny, and she wore a pink skirt, as always she didn't tied her hairs, Loose and Blonde she looked wonderful.

"what am i supposed to do", i asked, Vikram pulled out a black, satin piece of cloth, and said "you've got to talk her in, and ask her to get blindfolded with this cloth, and ask her to keep still". 'OH! come on, can't you see my face, she won't do it for me dude' I objected.

'She will for you, and just for you, she has this soft corner for stray dogs, children, flowers, and dying people' Vikki said in a firm tone, I hated him for this game, i am not dying. 'Hey! what the hell you made me sick off, i can't do this, it's all lie' I backed off.

Vikki's sister interrupted 'everything is fair in love and war, won't you still go to your first love and beg her for love always, won't you still go and sit with her even if she humiliates you, won't you still long for her, even if she talks with love to her fiancee, and wears heena on his name, won't you like to stay bachelore until your heart is shattered to pieces and you loose the love completely from your heart. She hates you and you told her you hate her, but There is not hate in love, Love goes on forever, once it begins even if we come to hate the one we love. Love goes on forever bacuse love is born in the part of us that doesn't die'.

I had tears rolling, and i wiped them before they touch my cheeks, i quickly grabbed the cloth piece folded it neatly while taking my way down to railway bridge, she was there, smelling the merrygold flower, she smiled at me, and as soon as i reached towards her, she pulled me and gave me a tight hug   "You are dear to me, Let's cry sometime" Leti said.

I departed myself, i did liked her touch, but I knew it had sympathy, and sheer sympathy, it was cheating, but it had love somewhere, it was like finding 'Sin in Crime' and i can't find a Sin here, even if there was, love commands it's way through hell even :).

"Do you trust me' i asked Leti.

"Yes! ask for anything, i'll get you anything that pleases you Rajjjaaa Ji" she said with a flirting smile.

It was 5:30, 'would you blindfold yourself for 15 minutes with this, and stay calm, i give my word nothing BAD would happen, and if there's i am already approaching to hell, one more lash won't do harm to me'  'Dear'  I said, and I said it in two pieces the 'Dear' followed from my heart. She liked it, and she quitely took it from my hands, I helped her folding it, and i tied it gently on her eyes, i took her purse.

"it doesn't have much in it, you won't be able to hire a decent taxi back home' she laughed while saying, i felt as if i am playing a honeymoon game, but then a train approached, and it had a group of people on roof!

Vikki, came running, with Devenier, and his sis.

He lifted her gently, and she suddenly knew, it's not me it's Vikki, it must be him, he's tried it in past, she knows his touch, he always longs for her, she shouted "Rajey! if this is Vikki, i am gonna kill you, you would rot in hell for sure".

' I might not keep my promise, but beleive in him, Honey! you would love it, you would certainly love it' Vikki replied while pulling her up to the guys at Train's roof, and Devenier also took the train, in no less then two minutes we all were on roof top, and we all set around her, she was in middle of two of this mustachioed man, they were from punjab, and they were singers. 'they opened her blindfold, but they hold her arms.

"Vikki i HATE you, i don't love you, don't you know this, 100 times i have denied you, nothing is gonna pull me in" she shouted and she made a fullstop to her dialogue the moment she saw me, i was disappointed, she's stubborn lot. I just raised my finger to the setting Sun, it was indeed beautiful, awesome, and i almost felt so much of love, in me, i can't put it in words.

They started singing, a Bulleyshah song  .... i can't phrase much out of it, it was beautiful, they sang with passion, i am sure they never sang better than this, there was love for god, for every divine being on earth, for a me and a you....

The moment of joy came, there was a white banner tied in electric poles ahead,  Vikki raised up like a MAN, and twisted her head to see the banner, it had "LETI I LOVE YOU"...

He held her palms, and he won't let her go, she know this, she can't deny true love, no one living can.

An utter piece of silence was around, only the trembling sound of train was there, The Singers stopped singing as well.

Vikki is crying in her palms begging for love "Love me, Love me, Love me", and she's solid like a rock, the singing started again, They are singing a piece from a Hindi Song

'usko khuda miley hai khuda ki jise talaash

mujhko toh ek jhalak mere dildaar ki miley'

And another banner was approached, it said "WILL YOU MARRY ME".

She broke in his arms, and i felt at peace.

"Lucky bastard!" vikki's sis said, settling her head over Deveniers' shoulders.

Devenier took out 3 Cigars' from his pocket, lighted them, gave two of them to singers, and puffed one on his own.

I remained quite in my own space, every one had a shoulder to rest, i didn't.

The train took round of delhi, and came back to Safdarjung at late evening, we all got down, Devenier paid the singers like a king, a hefty amount, which they denied for the sake of love, they hugged the couple, blessed them, and said good bye.

Leti, rushed Vikki for a quick coffee, and asked his sis to go and get some chips.

She came to me, "Thanks! i can never commit it, i had it, you don't know how am i going to fight with the upcoming things, but i am sure vikki will handle them; tell me, didn't you ever wanted to have me"...Leti talks flat, and she has those inspecting eyes, she kind of looked in me, she knew the answer.

"you have so much of love man, for a single being, she must be a lucky fool,  I love your youth, I like your desire, I like your love, You will be fine, and I am sure, you'll find better then her" she said

I remained quite..."you know Rajey! One Love ONE LOOOVe One love one love" she kept repeating the word for a while until i smiled.

Hi,

     I just came to know about the Live (R) writer beta, which is a blog authoring software by microsoft...

update :-  one annoying thing is you can't stop publishing after the button is clicked, there is sometime that it takes to publish, and according to the UX rules if there is a process, which is not gonna take a minimal sub-second you should always provide provision to step back / cancel the process at all.

I was also looking forward to tilt this image a little and put some more images like, making a collage of images and then post it (pssst....) that's my idea......
