SCJP Certificate

Today was quite an eventful day for me . Or may be it became , after i received my SCJP Certificate from sun . Indeed i got the certificate quite early.  I passed the SCJP certification Exam on 9th dis year . But as opposed to my sister's certificate(Ya , she's SCJP tooo) mine is a bit different and the SCJP badge was missing from the package .In the letter they asked me to get the badge(logo) online and if i want then i will be mailed the badge .May be they have changed the system a little bit  .  Anyways , I am happy to be officially Sun Certified Java Programmer

MTNL has no " Customer Care "

Guys i am sick of mtnl's so called "Customer Care" .m writing this post in shear frustation . I have trib500 combo plan and m supposed to get 2mbps speed but that's just on paper . A while ago i used to get it though .But then (a yr back or so) one day i saw broadband speed plummeted below 20KBps.may be sm server error or so.I ignored and waited .But that 'server error' Never got corrected . i cant actually guess the reason for that sudden schange in speed , but i think it may be due to mtnl's upgrading my download limit from 500 mb to 2.5gb(a free gift with *Condition Apply??) ,or my choosing for IPTV connection too. I have called up mtnl 'cutomer care' ,countless number of times.Let me give u the 'Customer Care' Scenario. Mostly that 1504(customer care number) busy , and if itz not then u hv to wait for a long..........queue to end . and at last wen they pick up the phone u r left to deal with underpaid, computer illitrate people(sm

Whats Common B/W SlumDog Millionaire,The White Tiger, and Russel Peters

What a weird question ? Every One know who they are . Slumdog won Golden Globe(in pipeline for oscars), Arvind Adiga won Booker for The White Tiger,and Russel Peter , an Indian, one of the best stand up Comedians in Canada . They all are highly successful . But there's more common link in them ,then just success. They have reached to top by selling "Indian poverty" . Russel Peters is very good ,very instantaneous .Lately i have been watching his shows . His jokes main target is ,well India . Is it his shortcut to success in west ? "The White Tiger" won "The Booker", but on what merit ? Most people in India can write stories like that ,and more authentic too. The book looks a mix of thoughts picked from many places . Looks like a pre-Independence era. Jamindari system is long past here,even if der's sm truth about it ,itz just one or two odd incidents ,not at all the "Real India"as the book portrays . SlumDog Millionaire , quite true an

The White Tiger - Review

India and China are deemed as the next super power of the world . There is steep growth rate for both the countries,and constructive development everywhere .The book is written in this context and presented as a series of seven letters to Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. Indian development is quite restricted to some big cities which have struck Gold with MNC's coming there.Most of the other part of India where this urbanization have not reached still lives in their old ways. The author tries to bring about the reality of this "Urbanization", which is plagued with curruption . The book can be devide in two parts the one in which balram halwai is in his village or in Dhanbad . The next can be the one when he comes to Delhi with Ashok .First part shows the atmosphere of the village , poorness, misery , and corruption prevalent there . you feel pity for Balram Halwai his Father and brother Kishan . Author has been able to bring about the contrast b/w rich and poor , and miserie
