Happy Friendship day, But I'm not gonna talk about that....

I attended a seminar “Doomsday controversy” by a friend of mine. It gave us a very good insight about how we’re going to die and lead our lives into Armageddon and the end of the world. It was thorough and informative, insisted on leading lives with an intuition too help preserve the critical balance from which we existed. and I'm telling ya, it was the most idiotic topics in the history of mankind, if you don't count 'Reason for Soap Operas' and 'Corruption in India'. Since the seminar taker was my friend i could resist my temptation to laugh. The World is gonna end, Oh! Yeah, I'd like that very much, How about you? and what about the reason for our existence and creation or formation of life on earth? Definitely not a good way to spend a Sunday!! Here, let me take you to my ideas.

According to me there are two theories that make sense:

1. Everything has a purpose, life on earth, all its living things, the solar system and its actions, everything and we’re yet to find the inner meaning and if we can’t find a reason or explanation, we can leave it to be divine intervention.

2. Everything is an accident, A big ball of fire blasted by ‘accident’ and a small chunk cools down on its own accord and ‘accidentally’ finds itself a favorably warm position in the solar system and also bring itself ‘accidentally’ to create amino acids in thunder storms in favorable conditions and needed reactants which eventually by ‘accident’ formed the first living cell and everything ‘accidentally’ evolved from that. Life has no meaning, the universe and our entire physical existence is but an ‘accident’.

But the creation and its meaning aside the end of the world rests in a swirl of imaginations by people who want recognition and all other stuff, for instance the end of Mayan calendar might as well be the end of the world, when were the Mayan’s one of the most intelligent beings on earth, even if they were, their race ended pretty long ago and so are their customs and belief, if they were smart enough to predict the end of the world why weren’t they smart enough to sustain their race, all they believed in was the cyclical nature of the world, the patterns happened in the past will help them in near future but as we know, people evolve, their habits change, new ideas influence new cultures and lifestyle, nobody wants the past they want to be happy about the present and a little bit about the future. The future is like a thought. If Einstein had changed his mind and decided to play football instead of relativity, relativity would be a later invention, thus future is impossible to predict. But when will they learn, there’ll be a group that’ll have the guts to come up and say, “But NO Alan, we believe in Mayan calendar and the earth is gonna end when it’s predicted.” It’s your fate idiots, and what are you going to do about it, live like panicky little baby girls? Nobody’s forcing you, wax heads!!

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. We can cover installation and operation of Solr and Nutch separately and then talk about the integration. the version of Nutch that I am using is very closely built with Solr and the integration is very simple. 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. Open terminal, navigate to  /home/test/Research/solr-4.8.0/example/  and execute the following command to start solr server java -jar start.jar  4...
