I’m sure everyone “bears" a worry of equal weight


I am watching this amazing anime called "Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru". It is grim and lovely and the dialogues and the intrigue it creates is something that I may never forget.

I urge anyone reading this to check out the anime. As of this post, it has two seasons out.

Here's a passage which is narrated by the central character as an answer to how animals live in the wild.
-------------

Animals naturally form packs.

Carnivores form social hierarchies within their packs. Those that fail to become alphas harbour the burden of failure until they die.

I’m sure herbivores feel guilty as they sacrifice their comrades to evade their predators and live on.

In this world, forming packs yields no benefit for the individual. Thus, I choose the way of the solitary bear, which does not form packs. The bear finds no anxiety in living alone. He is proud. He is a lone wolf. Furthermore, they hibernate in the winter, How wonderful that must be...

There is no doubt in my mind. In my next life, I want to be a bear.

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.
