'Rut'ine Kills



It's a lonely Saturday night.

Well what can you do? I certainly, have nothing to do.

The day was kind of busy, the night is boring, usually are.

I have to find out a new hobby, perhaps learn something new. A language maybe. I don't know. Doesn't seem all that interesting.

I have created an apathy for almost all the things that I come in contact with. I don't know why I am losing interest in the things that I used to love. I am suffocated by the rut that I am in with my dear friend: insomnia. I need to break free but break free and go where. Without a direction, without a companion, a champion or a cause freedom and victory mean less than nothing.

I've found that in certain depressing periods like these distraction works. But that is not a cure. I need to find a cure for my boredom.


*I play the guitar.

*I read fiction.

*I see movies by the thousands.

*I get TV shows and see them in a row compulsively.

*I listen to music all the time.

*I clean/arrange things in order, rinse then repeat.

*I rant in my blogs.


I guess these should be more than enough for a day to day life of a normal person. I guess I just need more than that. I need adrenaline, or something should help me get out of this haze.



In reality all I want in the bottom of my heart is a confidante, with whom I can just talk and share my crazy.


Till then.. Life goes on. a second at a time.

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...
