Pujo Fever

Today Navratri Festival Celebration is creating inconvenience in commute for everyone. Just a few kilometers in Koramangala took about half an hour. Both sides of the road were Garba Dandiya events or shows. Hundreds of cars were parked on either side of the road blocking almost half of the  Ganapathi Temple  road .  People coming for the events were parking their cars slowly blocking the remaining half of the road. Ladies were getting down from autos and cabs very carefully trying not to spoil the fitting and pinning of their sarees and dresses. Many careless girls were adjusting sarees in the middle of the road. There were police everywhere for the security of the ladies in the events from the loafers who came for some eye-candy. Many Jaanbaaz heroes were dancing on the streets here and there ignoring the traffic and trouble they were causing. Many selfish drivers were driving recklessly, even on the other side of the road, as if they are the only one o...

Dragon Ball Z Buu Saga

I may be behind time. But after having some illogical arguments with a friend regarding Buu Saga, I watched DBZ Buu Saga for the 5th time and came up with my ranking of strengths of fighters. All other saga where pretty clear, only Buu Saga is complicated. Here goes my analysis. 1. Kid Buu was always toying with everyone till he saw the spirit bomb. 2. Super Buu was warming up with Gotenks for  Gohan . 3. Goku was stronger than Fat Buu fresh out of ball, but he wasn't at the same ease with Kid Buu. 4. When Gotenks timed out inside Buu, Goku told Gohan no need to fuse and turned to base form, means Gohan could fight Buu by himself. That time Buu with Piccolo and 2 Super Saiyan kids should be slightly stronger than Super Buu. This means Gohan might have taken down Super Buu, more easily than Goku or may be Goku couldn't. 5. Buu with Gotenks or  Gohan  made Goku run for fusion means he had no chance and so was  Gohan  when Gotenks was absorbed. 6. Going ...

DBZ if time machine was not invented

In DBZ, if the time machine would not have been invented, it would not have been like future Trunks world because Androids were different in both the worlds. In current DBZ world, they are stronger but comparatively less violent. So here it goes. 1.   Trunks would not have come to kill Frieza 2.   Goku would have used instant transmission to come and kill Frieza 3.   Z-fighters would not be rigorously training for Androids but Vegeta would have 4.   Goku would have died of the virus with Dr. Gero unaware of that 5.   Vegeta would have been equally strong 6.   Vegeta would have defeated Android 19 (exactly same) 7.   Piccolo would not have been confident about defeating Android 20 8.   Vegeta would have defeated Android 20 as well 9.   Somehow if Android 16, 17 and 18 would have got unlocked then check that out 10. They would have defeated Z-fighters first time but not kill them 11. Then Piccolo would have merged with Kami 12. Vege...

13 Balls Problem

Problem You have 13 balls identical in size and appearance but 1 is an odd weight (could be either lighter or heavier).  You have a balance to compare the weights on the two sides.  You have only 3 chances to weigh the balls in any combination using the balance. Determine which ball is the odd one and if it's heavier or lighter than the rest. How do you do it? There is an exception in the problem. Find that as well. Solution Divide the balls into 3 groups having 4 balls each and one loner A1, A2, A3, A4 B1, B2, B3, B4 C1, C2, C3, C4 D1 Comparison 1 compare(A1+A2+A3+A4 in left and B1+B2+B3+B4 in right ) If they don't balance, name the side which is heavier as A1, A2, A3, A4 and the side which is lighter as B1, B2, B3, B4             Comparision 2            compare(A1+A2+C1 and A3+A4+B1)            If left is heavier means either A1 or A2 is the heavier ball or B1 is the l...

Lean Startup Machine

         Lean Start-up Machine Gurgaon Workshop : My friend told me about it. He registered for it in 3000 rupees but I registered late so had to pay 5500. We reached the venue on time. It was Friday. The complete building was vacant. There was no sign of any human population anywhere. There were no doors to enter. Somehow we found out a back door, which turned out to be the main entrance. The fifth floor office or the top floor was pipe-lined over it. The LSM guys might have got the complete floor at a very cheap price. If we don't see the pipe-line above, to avoid horror of the hanging corpse, the floor was very pretty. May be the pipe-lining was to create the ambiance of construction building. The floor had a reception, 2 egg shaped swing chairs, nice soft sofa, telephone booth like cabin with bean bag in it, many rooms, cafeteria and someone had decorated his tables so well with pictures and transformer toys that it added to the beauty of the floor.   ...

NoSQL screwing up

        This post is regarding my current (previous in case I quit before you see this) company. The company has been using RDBMS since years, which is trusted. Architects here started using Couchbase just because NoSQL gives options to scale big time. But the user permissions of each control is in RDBMS, which is pulled while Login and saved in access token in Couchbase. Another problem arise that the admins can grant and revoke permissions of any user or user group on any content or any specific collection of contents, let's call it document X. To use triggers there were about 25 tables which were needed to be applied. Syncing with RDBMS for every query was a big problem. They decided to keep a copy of the permissions into Couchbase and sync only the permission documents. It was also too much effort to sync using the triggers or a scheduled job. This was the most unfeasible option to take, when the database structure is already too big. Let's see other architectura...

Time Travel Paradox

Image
Scene         A policeman Jack in uniform came to a beach for an investigation. He was searching for some clues in a murder case. After an hour, he got very tired and impatient. When he was about to leave the beach, he heard a whoosh behind him. He subconsciously ignored due to tiredness. Immediately after the sound, there was a constant buzzing sound and noticeable vibration in air. Jack turned in surprised. A strange looking black car appeared out of nowhere. He had no idea what type of car was that with a very big fuel tank. He became skeptical about it. So he removed the pistol and got ready for action.         The door opened and an injured man X in police uniform came out. His face was too bloodied to recognize. Jack ran toward him to help, as X too was in police uniform. But he maintained pistol in his hand to avoid any risk. X got frightened and ran away from him. X being policeman too, tir...

Game of Thrones Warriors

I have seen many of Game of Thrones fans who desperately and childishly compare the characters of Game of Thrones to know who will win if X and Y have a fight. This grew with every one-on-one fights. Ned Stark vs. Jaime Lannister (Season 1) The Hound vs. The Mountain (Season 1) Jaime Lannister vs. Brienne of Tarth (Season 3) Prince Oberyn vs. The Mountain (Season 4) Brienne vs. The Hound (Season 4) The winner in each of these fights can not be determined due to circumstances and fitness level. Ned Stark vs. Jaime Lannister - Ned Stark had become old and fat, certainly not at his best The Hound vs. The Mountain - Hound was protecting Loras as well as he was aware of presence of the king Jaime Lannister vs. Brienne - Jaime was chained Red Viper vs. The Mountain - Red Viper was emotional Brienne vs. The Hound - Hound was biten by Biter, which began to fester due to Hound's fear of cauterizing with fire. We fans can deduce the better of Red Viper vs The Mountain. Prince...
