2007 - 2008

Few more minutes and officially we would be in 2008, no doubt 2007 was one of the best years of my life, I met many wonderful people, I saw many dreams and tried to fulfill them, live them with my loved ones, tried to give them more love, share some moments of joy and grief with them too. I did face some difficult times too, but tried to learn from them, and not to give up hope. I thank all my readers who read my blogs continuously, I did made you smile sometimes, sometimes laugh and sometimes I made you cry, I just tried to give you hope which is the best I could have given to you. I especially thank my loved ones who always encourage me to write for myself. I thank God for what ever he gave me and what ever he is going to give me may he bless us all, give us all which is best for us, may he guide us and open our hearts, give us all patience and give us the knowledge to guide others also. May he bring true happiness to all my loved ones, and let me share those moments of joy with them

Feared nothing and served her country with valor...

From Moscow to Washington to New Delhi and points in between, dismay and condemnation poured forth Thursday over the assassination of Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, along with concern for the stability of the volatile region. World leaders lauded her bravery and commitment to democratic reform. The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously to condemn the killing. In India, which has fought three wars against Pakistan, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Bhutto is irreplaceable, and noted she had striven to improve relations between the two nuclear-armed countries. "I was deeply shocked and horrified to hear of the heinous assassination," Singh said. "In her death, the subcontinent has lost an outstanding leader who worked for democracy and reconciliation in her country." In Texas, a tense-looking President Bush demanded that those responsible be tracked down and brought to justice. "The United States strongly condemns this cowardly act by murderous ex

If tomorrow never comes..

Sometimes late at night I lie awake and watch her sleeping Shes lost in peaceful dreams So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark And the thought crosses my mind If I never wake up in the morning Would she ever doubt the way I feel About her in my heart If tomorrow never comes Will she know how much I loved her Did I try in every way to show her every day That shes my only one And if my time on earth were through And she must face the world without me Is the love I gave her in the past Gonna be enough to last If tomorrow never comes cause Ive lost loved ones in my life Who never knew how much I loved them Now I live with the regret That my true feelings for them never were revealed So I made a promise to myself To say each day how much she means to me And avoid that circumstance Where theres no second chance to tell her how I feel So tell that someone that you love Just what youre thinking of If tomorrow never comes

Everything I do and I would do...

Look into my eyes - you will see What you mean to me Search your heart - search your soul And when you find me there you'll search no more Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for You know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you Look into your heart - you will find There's nothin' there to hide Take me as I am - take my life I would give it all - I would sacrifice Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more Ya know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you There's no love - like your love And no other - could give more love There's nowhere - unless you're there All the time - all the way Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more I would fight for you - I'd lie for you Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you Ya know it's true E

Resume Oriented Development (Tech Blog)

Ever heard of "Resume Oriented Development"? It's a common concept in the IT world where teams consider their future career prospects while choosing technologies. It's not a bad approach, but in recent times, it has contributed to project delays. Teams invest significant effort in mastering new technologies just to make their resumes stand out. While this doesn't cost them anything, it does incur extra expenses for stakeholders. Unfortunately, there's little we can do about it. However, focusing more on research-oriented development activities would be highly beneficial. For instance, opting for XFire over Axis, transitioning to JSR-181, choosing Spring over Seam, and embracing Rich Faces instead of MyFaces along with adopting Maven over Ant in the new project are strategic decisions. Call it "resume oriented development" or "enhancing efficiency," I know I have a lot to learn now! LOL. Believe me, integrating aspects into an application

Listen!!

Two of my team members were really mad at each other last night, well common working place issues, I just kept quite last night and listened to their arguments, I just noticed that both of them were not willing to listen to each other at all (Defensive Mode), and they really needed someone badly to interfere between them someone to whom both of them can listen, someone whom both of them trust. Well unfortunately or fortunately I jumped in the argument, and then I have to listen to them LOL, well what amazed me was both of them are married and having kids now, but they really fight like kids :). As soon as I started listening to them one by one they calmed gradually, and did settle the matter in a pleasant manner also. Sometimes in life we really want someone to listen and understand, I am lucky to have my dear friend around me :).

Advertisements

All of us love YouTube, well until we become parents of course and have our kids who have exams next day, well Everyone loves YouTube. As going through some videos last night just an idea came in my mind, well for the benefit of YouTube and not for the users. According to the user agreements Term of Uses 6. Your User Submissions and Conduct Section C which clearly states that YouTube can nearly do anything with the video users submits. Well the idea is, Put the banners in the videos for the advertisements, there are 36 Million views to one video only, millions of hits every day people concentrate more on the video contents rather than on the advertisements which are popping up on left side of the panel, in a way if the banners are displayed inside the videos, users would be forced to view them.. Idea.

Genuine

Some of you have posted some comments that they have heard of the ideas I post in my blogs before, but trust me guys I am not the only brain in this world, people do think, they do propose the ideas like I do, they even work on those idea. But the thing is I try to stay genuine as much as I can and I will stay like that in the future also :). Thanks allot for letting me know some great blogs ;). I really enjoyed reading them also.

Connectivity

We are in age of socialization, age of change where only one thing is certain and that's uncertainty, people and organizations have to adapt fast to the situations and new business models. It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change. I thought today to take socialization to next level, well I can't tell you the ideas exactly, but I can just tell you the core of the ideas, and it connectivity, people would be connected and would be close more than ever before... I thought of implementing the idea, I started researching about them also, but what make me wonder today was, all these "Social Gadgets" are making world a small place, well on one end its really good for the businesses but on the other end the "One" factor as I shall call it is coming into play where military won't be required to rule the people, it would be the cultural. Anyways, the idea is simple "Everyone should

Linguer

Conversation between different people of different languages is always difficult, just a tech thought came in my mind to create a small device which can translate the language the person we are having conversation with to the desired language, in that way if both the persons are having that device, we don't have to worry about learning the language. Question: We communicate more with gestures, how will that device know the gestures well don't worry Microsoft is going to steal this idea also and modify it to the next level, Microsoft is a great artist LOL , they don't copy they steal. Question: Why do I create a device, Why don't we modify the genome of the humans to know all the languages? Well the idea is also good, but this idea don't focuses on the existing user base. Question: How will this service work? At the time of conversation we have to set the modes, which will call the services which would translate. Question: Why do I have to carry another device, wh

Calculations

Calculative people really annoy me, they really make me angry, but today it was not like that, one of my college, who calculates nearly everything, time, energy and money you name it..today he really made me feel angry and then made me laugh so hard when he told me that he gave his friend a treat and he spent (certain amount which he also remembered) on him, the thing which made me fed up of him is that he calculates and remember the amount he spent on his friend and his loved ones but the thing which made me laugh was, he remembers such small things, he wastes his memory for those things...always calculating. Well allot of us are calculative in life, in general, but sometimes people are even calculative in emotions also. I hope he doesn’t count how many times he have exchanged emotions with her wife I doubt he also do that LOL. I really wanted to write a tech blog here today, as all day long I was working, reading and writing about technology, but really my college made my day after m

Group Study...

Well it have been long time since I did that, but really it was fun to study in a group, today I remembered one of the group studies, when 4 of my class fellows kidnapped me from my place and kidnapped another guy (Shoib) from his place also and forced us to teach them whole night for the paper next morning...well funny thing is all of them slept only Shoib and me were up studying hard all night long..well next day not to mention the paper was one of the hardest we gave in 4 years and by prediction of Shoib all of them failed....I felt so bad that day when I saw the results as it was my responsibility to teach them for the trust they gave me...I still feel sorry for them that but how can I teach someone who is sleeping, this is what Shoib always told me.. Anyways now I see them all 4 of them married and having kids It really makes me feel happy about them all..but still I don't get that, why did all of them slept :)).

Looks!!

I did got out of the bed at last these holidays, and went to take the sun bath on the beach as I can't find any appropriate movie in the cinema , I just went alone there and lay down on the beach under the trees, well you might be wondering hmm beach ;), but I really noticed something interesting there, most of the people didn't came there on the beach or take the sun bath, well most of them are there to just "Look Around", I mean "Look" around, watching other people half naked and just watch them play....well its really interesting observation, observing people who are observing others LOL. I wondered later on, most of people around us are also like that, they are never really helping us or even helping them selves, they are just there to "Look Around" and talk....well who cares :). Work Hard, Play even harder :).

Babel

I am sitting in the bus going to another city nearby, in the bus I heard people speaking many languages, for instance right now I can hear Arabic, Panjabi, Pilipino, Panjabi, Tamil, German, Urdu, Hindi and off course English and Chinese..Are we in Babylon?

Sea Man

I talked today with one of my very old friend who is a sea man, he is a friend of my childhood, I wished him with blessings of Haj and Eid, I asked him about his job as currently he is sailing in Nigeria, suddenly he burst up and asked me he don't want to go back to sea any more, he is horrified by sea now, as by his words "There is no love, there is only fu***** water, I hate that life, I am all alone, I have no one to talk to, no fu***** internet, nothing to interact to anyone, I wait for days to reach the land, and make a call back home, do you call it a life, I earn money, but for whom?, I never ever spend them, khaled you don't know what I go through, you don't know how i feel, I keep my self busy, make my self tired to death, so I don't have to think before I go to sleep"...... I asked my self, “Do you call your self lonely?”... Life is all about choices…

Conversation with GOD

God : Hello. Did you call me? Me: Called you? No.. Who is this ? God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat. Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something. God : What are you busy at? Ants are busy too. Me: Don't know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time. God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it. Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out.

Analysis is what makes it complicated. Me: why are we then constantly unhappy? God : Your today is the tomorrow that you

Reason, Season or Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experie

I read this today.......

It was raining heavily outside. Dark clouds gathered in the sky and nature was in its ominous best. I took a break from my work and went to the pantry to grab a cup of coffee. I had a sip and went near the window to see the rain pouring down heavily outside the glass structure. I was inside our huge office building, unruffled by even the fierceness of the nature. Through the heavy transparent glass, I could see a small girl trying to hold on to her umbrella which the wind was snatching away from her. I felt sorry for the girl, and was happy that I was not in a similar pathetic situation. Yes. I take pride for the fact that I am a software engineer. . I have everything which a common man would envy; money, status, respect, you name it I have it. I always wanted to be software professional and here I am, working for one of the best firms in the world. But then, am I really happy? Now, I could see an imprint of my palm on the other glass window, through which I reminisced my past, basked

Abi..

(The contents of this blog might be a bit disturbing) Eid-ul-Azha is the festival when we sacrifice animals in path of God, in remembrance of Abraham Sacrifice of Ismail. I just wanted to share a smile with you today… We had a goat we called him Abi, our uncle gave it to me as a gift...Abi and me were good friends, I use to come back from my collage and went out to bring something for him, before I ate anything, before even I drink something, my father loved him like a son..He use to make Abi sleep by his side...took I remember once he was sick as he fell off the stair my father took him to the hospital with me, I couldn’t believe how much love he had for the animal. When once my mother asked my dad, why do you love him so much he is just animal, my father said, he is also a should right? But as he grew up one day of Eid we have to sacrifice him…you might say why didn’t we bought other animals and sacrificed them? Why you sacrificed Abi? Why you sacrificed the lovely goat? All yo

Tom and Jerry

I was going through my new TV software when I saw a news which said that Japanese scientist have taken out the fear from the mind of the mouse, disabling some reactors in their head…, it’s not yet confirmed that cats hunger for mouse have been disabled or not..Which by the way is more important than mouse’s fear LOL, cat must be very happy with this news, easy prey is on their way now :). Here is the link to the news http://www.physorg.com/news116739098.html http://www.showchina.org/en/Gallery/Odd/200711/t133358.htm

comedy of errors..

I am a software engineer by profession and to be a good at our profession we have to always think lazy which is a blessing sometimes but sometimes it makes our life really difficult...well today is really a funny day for me, I had a meeting in another city in the morning which was at around 8 am, so I have to start off at around 6 am in the morning to reach on time, unluckily I lost my mobile phone somewhere on the way back home yesterday night.....which by the way taught me how much dependent I am on my mobile phone :). As I haven't had my mobile phone I couldn't put on alarms to wake up in the morning, so I have to buy a buzzer to wake me up in the morning..as I have no mobile phone I can't contact my college who would have guided me where to go for the meeting in the morning, as I am lazy I never ever remember the numbers LOL. Now imagine in the morning you wake up, not knowing where to go, you are totally cut off from the world...:), luckily I went to another city I ro

26 Years1 Month 2 Days...

Life: L “IF” E, Its all about Attitude? Love: Everyone should have someone in his or her life who says, "I will love you no matter what...if you fall on your face, if you do the wrong thing, if you make mistakes, if you behave like a human being -- I will love you no matter"…. Family: People who give us birth and look after us, and then we leave them when we are on our own and then we have our own family and the process continues… Friends: People in need? I remember I had few Books: Technical? TV : What does it stands for Sports and Exercise: I guess they keep us healthy Health: I would Exchange it with money I would earn when I am young I am only missing one thing out of my life I guess life itself…..

Unified Communication..

I wonder the next generation technologies for communication and locating people..would it be the same technology angles use like genetic codes recognition of every human for localizing them and knowing their locations , especial machines for identifying the humans using their genes, no passports required..telephones would be embedded in our brains so would we be connected to huge base of knowledge, to talk to someone all over the world we don't need to have their telephone number we just need to have their genetic code. Disconnected but invisibly connected. Biology would make wonders in this century the wonders which Physics and Information Technology made in the 20th century.. it will revolutionize our thought process...I wish I can live till that day to see it coming or I would start it off on my own LOL. (Blog was written in August)

Diffrences...

Sitting on the bus stop waiting for my friend to pick me up..i see many people come and go, different colors, different race, different belief, different values..Nearly everything is different if we are searching for the differences....I wonder when we are born or we die we are all equal...I wonder when we love someone or when we hate someone we are all equal..I guess our emotional states are equal but our rational states makes us different, out environmental states makes us different we are born different so we can be recognized so we can compete and love and live with the differences of people around us...I wonder if all of us were same we would have got so bored then may be all of us would have been angles :).

Distribution

I love object orientation, aspect orientation, concept orientation for the sake of it all I love distribution, distribution of responsibilities, distribution of concerns, distribution of control and also distribution of entities at the level of dependencies. I wonder what if we don’t have the frameworks we are having today, or we haven’t come through times where we got to know that hard coupling between the objects and entities is not easy to maintain and change, I also wonder distribution by nature, distribution to perfection and nothing interferes with anything else. Nature for me is a perfect framework, objectivity matured to perfection. This is not a coincidence.

30 Minutes Bike Ride...

10:45 I thought to go to the Cornish I used to go and sit there for a while…just listen to the sound of the sea…see the quite waves coming and hitting the shores…I reached the Cornish sat there for a while…felt boring actually, as there was no one, sat with myself for a while… 12:30 I came back home to an unknown place…a small room, a ceramic floor waiting for me to sleep..I laid down to sleep, thinking about the day I spent the day if it comes tomorrow how is it going to be.. 1:45 Surprisingly I am still up, how the time passed I never knew…thought of so so many things in between….about my loved ones, my family, my friends, myself..... 2:15 I can’t sleep today it seem, so I stay up today, tried a new tool for development, read some books and articles regarding concept oriented programming. Well what do you expect from a technical guy? 3:00 Felt hungry…nothing to eat in the room…lets go out and check…found something on the petrol pump… 3:40 Came back home…..walked a little t

Mapping technology to emotions..

Well I was thinking for allot of days to write about this, I was studying a new technology in which coupling between the objects (Dependency between the objects) is controlled by the framework and workflow inject the dependency...well I wonder in life we are dependent on people (objects) and we are coupled with them also. What is the workflow and what is the framework. How people collide in life. How do the couple with each other together :) Life is not accident we are for sure components of a greater framework…well that’s life

Walk...

I was not writing so frequently the last week as if we are not stable or mindset is changed we don't sometimes get time to think over the things which surround us and so do we don't get time to write about them...I learn allot last week..can't write that all in a single blog, but I must thank my dear friends for always being there with me....giving me courage and telling me that worries are there to teach us the lessons I should feel lucky to have them....friends and loved ones are really a blessing in life..its hard to find them..even sometimes its a miracle how we find them...they are gift of life to us...

Besame....

Besame, besame mucho como si fuera ésta noche la última vez Besame, besame mucho que tengo miedo a perderte perderte después Besame, besame mucho como si fuera ésta noche la última vez Besame, besame mucho que tengo miedo a perderte perderte después Quiero tenerte muy cerca mirarme en tus ojos verte junto a mi Piensa que tal vez mañana yo ya estaré lejos, muy lejos de ti Besame, besame mucho como si fuera ésta noche la última vez Besame, besame mucho que tengo miedo a perderte perderte después Besame, besame mucho que tengo miedo a perderte perderte despues que tengo miedo a perderte perderte despues...
