Mysore Trip - arranged by CDOT

C-DoT arranged Mysore trip for new RE. We were supposed to start early but somehow we left by 8am from Bangalore. 24 out 47 members did come for the trip and it was real fun. We went to different places and returned the same day and it was dead night around 2am when i reached my room... thanks to the bus driver, he left at the door step of room.

Tipu Sultan's Tomb: Its one of the historical place and who has not heard of Tipu Sultan, one of the greatest emperor of India. The shawl-covered tombs of (on the west) Tipu Sultan, (centre) his father, Haidar Ali, and (on the east) his mother, Fakhr un-Nissa, in the mausoleum at Gumbaz, Sringapatam.

Most of us also had horse ride for the first time over there and "Ranjhor ka thakur" from "Janne tu ya janne na" movie ka 3 sarte hame yaad aa rahein the... abhi tak toh thoda bahut fight kiya hain... bas tisra sart jail jane ka baki reh gaya.

Then after we proceeded to "Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens". Its well managed and as soon as we entered, we saw the long necked giraffe for the first time. They have a good collection of birds. We also saw White tiger, Chimpanzee, African Elephant, azgar and everything that is there at zoo.

After having lunch, we went for Chamundi Hills, where Mahisasur was killed by the Goddess according to Hindu mythology. In the way to Temple on the hill, the road to Kathmandu was flashing in my mind. They have well fenced the road on the sides, a good safety measure. I was enjoying the view of Mysore city from the hills... it was awesome... after temple we also went to see NANDI, its really huge, the biggest structure of Nandi, i had ever seen before.

When we reached "Mysore Palace" the most famous place of Mysore, it was already 5pm and we went running and just had glance view of the palace... its very huge and the craft and carvings are worth watching... we should have taken a little more time.... I also bought sandal soap there as one of my friend had suggested. Mysore is also know as silk city. Silk and Sandal (Chandan) is cheap over there.

Finally it was 7pm when we reached "Brindavan Gardens", one of the most happening place of Mysore. We straightway went to Musical Fountain.... awesome... simply great!! there were countless people over there... Chintan, my colleague showed his photography skills with his sophisticated camera in capturing those lightings and water sprays... me, Sandeep, and Chintan got involved into this and didn't while others left to see the remaining parts of the garden. We started from there at 8.30pm, had dinner in the way and finally reached room at the dead of night...

Thanks to the weather, it was cool... normally its cool here at B'lore and Mysore, but for the past 1 week, it used to be quite sunny... and also thanks to weather as it didn't rain... which is also very frequent here... but i would call it shower rather than rain... B'lore is the best place to stay in terms of weather... and placed around are worth watching... in B'lore we can just enjoy the city glitter, shopping multiplexes and similar things.

Thanks to C-DoT for the tour and for those who missed the trip, i recommend them to visit Mysore!

Installing Fedora Core into 2nd partition

Problem: XP is installed on the first partition. Fedora is installed on the second partition(/dev/sda5). When the Fedora installation completes, is promts you to remove disk and click 'reboot'. When I reboot, It goes straight into XP. It doesn't prompt you to choose wich OS you want to use?

Solution:
1. For this particular configuration i.e. linux into 2nd partition, you should have done the following, infact this methid is advantageous in one or many other way:

Select "Use GRUB as the boot loader"
Select Install Boot Loader record on
"...First sector of boot partition".
After finishing the Red Hat installation, reboot into Linux. If you don't have a boot disk, try booting in [linux rescue mode].

2. mount root as:
> chroot /mnt/sysimage

3. Create boot record information of linux as:
#dd if=/dev/sda5 of=/fedora.bin bs=512 count=1
» because sda5 is your linux partition. This can be verified by:
>fdisk -l
Device Boot Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 3697 7 NTFS
/dev/sda2 3698 4997 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 3698 4972 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 4973 4997 6 FAT32

4. Copy this file /fedora.bin to any FAT32 drive or anyother backup media.

5. Restart into windows, copy the above file into "C:\" root and add the following line to "C:\boot.ini"
C:\fedora.bin="Fedora Core"
┌───── C:\boot.ini ──────┐
[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition

(1)\WINDOWS [operating Systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" c:\fedora.bin="Fedora Core 4" ** Note: Always install Windows first, spesially if you are new to Linux, this makes live allot easier. When it asks you where to install the boot loader, tell it to install it into the MBR, but the method above Download ISO image of linux and burn onto a DVD. Fedora (redhat linux) : suited for servers and experts Ubuntu (debian linux) : suited for clients and beginners  u can go for default installation...  ------------------------------------------------- 1) make around 20 GB free space (unformatted), you can do so by deleting partition. 2) In the installation steps, select default partition from "free space". 3) then follow all steps as usual. for manual partitioning....: (step c : optional) ------------------------------------- 1) make around 20 GB free space (unformatted), you can do so by deleting partition. 2) in the installation steps, select manual paritioning... a) make "swap partition" type of size = 2 x RAM size b) make "ext4 partition" and select the mount location as "/" c) usually 2 partition are sufficient. Still, if want separate partition for "home location" you can do so as well by creating 3rd partition of ext4 type and mount location as "/home" d) then follow all steps as usual. best of luck...  happy being copy-left

Mahatma Gandhi's talisman

5/8/01

Mahatma Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 Jan 1948)
“I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny ? In other words, will it lead to Swaraj (i.e. self-rule) for the hungry and spiritually starving millions ?
Then you will find your doubts and your self melting away.”

Exploring the nature.

This is an article penned down based on memories and fantasies during my childhood.

Invention is not possible unless there is imagination. Imagination, strong determination and contribution put together leads to invention. The Hindu philosophy and epic has contributed the whole world through its par imagination since thousand years back. We have lots of illustrations e.g. ‘Pushpak-Biman’ that Ravana had according to Ramayana has been made to exist today. Durodhana (Mahabharat) knew the technique to remain inside water. Vishma (Mahabharat) could bring rain, and used his weapons (arrows) to destroy the enemy. Traces of dynamite particles are still found in certain parts of Kurukshetra. The examples continue.

All those imaginations or super-natural power have been proved scientifically to exist today. Nowadays we find the off-country and off-continent people showing keen interest in Hindu epics. It is not only for holy attitude but also for knowledge. We don’t give it much importance but the geniuses of western countries are getting success to prove the illustrations in real life by their strong determination and contribution.

E=mc², the renowned equation of Einstein was based on complete theory which has been practically proved today, if not at least being used in the calculations of nuclear fusion/fission. The power of disappearing and reappear in any distant place just in an instant of time can be made possible in near future. I have a proposal depending upon inter-conversion of mass and energy. In order to disappear, one’s body should be converted into energy and travel with the speed of light to reach the destination. At this instant, the energy should be converted back to mass.

We have many illustrations of changing life age. I have a scientific example heard from somewhere. Once a scientist working on celestial bodies fell in love with his assistant but the age difference between them was 25 years. But their love was genuine, so he then arranged for a space shuttle and occupied the shuttle which was launched. He then continued his research on some distant green planet which was revolving with quite higher speed than earth. After some calculated time according to that planet, he came back to Earth. This time span was 20 years according to Earth’s time while just 2 months according to the distant planet. He had an effect on his body due to those distant celestial bodies and grew older just by 2 months while his lover at his laboratory on Earth grew older by 20 years. Then they married. This illustration is just a proposed theory and even Einstein’s theory supports this by what he called ‘slow time high speed’.

History is evidence whenever something has been imagined; it was proved to be true; maybe in a longer duration of time. We have not been able to use even 5% of minds capacity properly and when we will achieve this, just one can think of, how advanced we could be? Don’t we hear of super-natural things now and then in our daily life? Though science does not believe it or accept it; at the same time, it has never in position to deny it. Events like telepathy, reincarnation, existence of soul, love, sub-conscious mind, effects of meditation (kundalini saktiyah), recurring dream, blessings, miracle, hypnosis, flexibility, alertness, accidental discovery, etc are not something that can be ignored or science can explain those.

There are many such topics that come to my mind when I am in peaceful, lonely environment and there’s none to disturb. And maybe those who practice meditation may have experience that they reach another state of their mind when deeply involved in meditation and at this moment, one can achieve whatever he thinks of. Many a times, it happens that what you think of, the other guy also thinks of same; and even sometimes we are able to communicate through waves of thought or something like that. There are people who claim that telepathy exists in reality. Can anyone tell the purpose of our birth on this world? And the most disgusting thing is one takes birth, has to through general stages of growth, gains knowledge and dies before completion of their research. And the new generation has to start the work from scratch. Doesn’t it seem to killing of one time and bringing an infinite postponement on any particular research? And what about general people, who just take birth, struggle for life, earn money and simply pass their life. What’s the use of such birth? Well, no-one knows the answer but the one of the sole aim might be exploring Nature with different views. Nature has been boon though sometimes comes up with calamities but all this is to maintain balance. Nature loves symmetry and is the only supreme.

In spite of Newton’s discoveries, one of his statement is quite inevitable, “I am a child playing with pebbles and sand at shore of a huge ocean”. He meant about Nature’s exploration. And do remember the Gandhi’s Talisman whenever you feel you are in deep sorrow or poor condition. Let’s aim high and attempt for it as the spider’s attempt to climb the wall in the story well known to one and all and contribute a part of time for Nature’s exploration.

Slow time at high speed

2/28/01

Sometime in the far distant future a spaceship may leave the earth bound for a nearly galaxy – perhaps the Andromeda Galaxy, two million light years away. The ship will be far more advanced than any we know today, so advanced that it will be able to travel at a speed very close to the speed of light. At such speeds according to the theory of relativity, time appears to slow down for the ship and its occupants. The trip will require only 28yrs earth time to reach Andromeda, and another 28yrs to return. An astronaut on board will age by 56yrs during his journey but he will not recognize the earth, he’ll return to. For during his 56yrs in space, his home, the earth will have become four million years older.

Oh, Be A Fine Girl: Kiss Me!

7/21/03

BRIGHTNESS OF STARS:

The sequence of brightness and colour among normal stars is arranged by the spectral types in an order using the letters O, B, A, F, G, K, & M (a classification students still remember with the help from the sentence, “Oh, Be A Fine Girl: Kiss Me!”).

Each element represent a range of colour and temperature. For e.g.

O:- Massive, brilliant O-stars at one end of the spectrum are hot and blue and range 50000^oC down to 25000^oC in the surface temperature UV region

M:- Light, dim; Cool and Red; 3500 ^o to 1500^oC IR region

G:- Middle weight; yellow (like Sun); 5500^oC to 5000^oC; Visible region
