To write a novel

-
        I am a software engineer by profession since 5 years. I had a story and plot ready for a novel when I was in pre-final year of college NIT Rourkela. I thought I would write it when I leave college. I will have sufficient time then.
        4 years after leaving college or 5 years after writing plot, I got time to write the story in a furnished way. I was in Bangalore then. I made 2 of my close friends read it. They liked it but asked me to furnished it even more. Then I went in a company switch mode. I left Bangalore and came to Gurgaon.
        It has been more than an year in Gurgaon. I did not get time or proper motivation to write in Gurgaon. I think daily I will write tonight, but this doesn't happen. Nothing is stopping me from writing. But I am not able to figure out why am I not writing even if I get some time. May be its the fear that if I have time today, may be I won't get it tomorrow. If I am writing this blog post, why can't I spend this time to the story.

Airtel's Fake Court Case by their Recovery Team (21st April 2010)

-
Background - Got an Airtel Connection and got it disconnected       We (I and my roommates) purchased an Airtel broadband connection with Wi-Fi. The salesman gave the connection and he assured to give us router in 2 days. But we didn’t get the router for 1.5 months. We told them we won’t pay until we get the router. They agreed. But they sent the bill. We didn’t pay. Then daily they used to call and I used to tell them same thing hundreds of time that too from the beginning and they used to agree that it’s their fault and no one will call again but they did call again. This wasn’t enough. They also sent strong muscular men at home to collect the bill who don’t even know English or Hindi and their job was to collect money at any cost not to negotiate. We talked to their executives on phone and tell him everything again from the beginning. Then they sent us a notice that if we don’t pay they will police case. I talked to a girl named Geeta, who we were su...

How pets and being stress-free can help in getting pregnant

-
We got 2 cats as soon as we returned from a 9 days vacation from Goa. As we were new to cats and with them playing around us, we were focused on them all the time and were enjoying every moment. The first week was a zero stress period. Within a week was our 12th day and we possibly conceived our baby that day. There are some more incidents in my acquaintances: One of my friends also got a cat and within the same month, they conceived too. Another friend of mine got a dog and within the same month, they conceived as well. One of my relatives and his wife went to her parent's place for a month and during the same month, you understood now. Right? I am not a biology person but I am a pattern matcher. What were common in all 4 cases? The stress level of the couple is low. They don't fight with each other. Maybe less number of making-out opportunities. Each of the 8 of us was above 32 years old. I am no expert but free advice doesn't harm anyone. If you have checked with a docto...

Caterpillar Uneaten Leaves Problem – HackerEarth Interview Question

-
QUESTION DESCRIPTION K caterpillars are eating their way through N leaves. Each caterpillar falls from leaf to leaf in a unique sequence. All caterpillars start at a twig in position 0 and fall onto the leaves at positions between 1 and N. Each caterpillar i has an associated ‘jump-number’ j. A caterpillar with jump number j eats leaves at positions that are multiples of j. It will proceed in the order j, 2j, 3j, … till it reaches the end of the leaves, then it stops and builds its cocoon. Given a set A of K elements, K ≤ 15, N ≤ 10^9, N >> K, we need to determine the number of uneaten leaves. Input Format: N = number of leaves K = number of caterpillars A = Array of integer jump numbers (one per line). Output Format: An integer denoting the number of uneaten leaves. Sample Input: 10 3 2 4 5 Sample Output: 4 Explanation [2,4,5] is the 3-member set of jump numbers. All leaves which are multiples of 2, 4, and 5 are eaten. Leaves 1,3,7,9 are left, and so th...
