My Freak University


I think I should share some of my college stuff here. well, how about a nice little intro to my Univ ?

This is my University entrance gate, pretty neat huh? Yeah i know it is not something-out-of-this-world and its even smaller for a University of its status and student potential.



This funky old building is called 'GnanaVihar' , you know what, these guys have all the English in the world but they go and name their buildings in Sanskrit words. This building has the HR Dept and the in-campus placement facilities. It also has the Physics and chemistry labs along with their respective staff rooms.

we also have these kinda lush lawn mantained by the gardeners over there but its strictly off-limits to students. At-least its a soothing sight for the on-lookers though.


This is Vidya Vihar (VDV) This is the first years building, all of the college guys pretty much like this building because of the integrity and the peacefulness of this place. When they go to their respective dept, they pretty much don't have this kinda liberty.

Well I think its enough for today, I'll update rest of these boring things tomo.

Mundasupatti - a fun movie

I saw a movie the other day called Mundasupatti, I’m sure you’ve heard of it if you’re in Tamil Nadu. It was funny, they took a simple superstition which is around and made a fun movie out of it. It was a period film, exploring the 70’s of rural India. I was instantly reminded of swades, a great hindi film which again explores the development gap between cities and villages, it goes a bit further to compare development as seen by an Indian NASA engineer and his old house-hold nanny’s village.  While Swades was a serious film about self empowerment and braking society’s rules about casteism and encouraging education, Mundasupatti is just a funny movie about how stupid, people are.  The movie revolves around a village after which the film is named, the people in the village believe that taking a photograph causes people to get sick and die. The movie did a faithful representation of the rural India, with its proud people and crazy traditions which make no sense. People...

Apache Nutch-Solr Integration

Apache Nutch-Solr Integration   As of this writing, I am using Solr 4.8.0 and Nutch 1.8.0 binaries for the integration. Will catch up to later versions as and when my project requires.

For simplicity sake, Ill stick to Linux environment for both as Nutch does not operate in windows natively. Getting Solr to work 1. All you need to for Solr to work are the binaries. you can get them from their  official page  (version 4.8.0) 2. Extract the  solr-4.8.0.zip  in some location. for this tutorial, lets assume that its in  /home/test/Research/solr 4.8.0/ 3.
