The Concepts

Today I have had a fun with technology. Opened a support case for system located in China, from Malaysia.  Received email seeking more update in Chinese language.  This is still acceptable as support team will not have knowledge of person located when opening a case using web portal. However, I decided to try Microsoft Outlook 2013's built-in translator tool.  Funny things happened.  It attempted to translate from English to French automatically and given me same Chinese output. How nice technology making people so dump. Have a good fun day.

      Today went to watch Bond movie "Skyfall".  Before going to the movie most of them suggested movie is not good and not much action.  But to me, be frank, liked it; it's not upto the usual level of all other James Bond movies, but much better than previous one.  First I thought, it's a rework from some old Bond movies itself.  At the beginning minister asks "why don't you continue the role as dead ?"; there they themselves interpreting as a retirement stuff; instead of the one they did in "You Only Live Twice", where Sean Connery died on his girlfriend's bed and coming back to work as undercovered.  Return of the Aston Martin DB5 ( I guess first used in Goldfinger ) also made it well.  But the departure of Madam M was not at its good level.  Something much better could have done.  Anyway, it's time to take over M's position by someone else as well.  Modern Q is not upto the mark; but a dia...

     Recently, I had tried several Linux variants in my AMD laptop.  As everyone say, I too loved Ubuntu before it entering to Unity mode.  Once Unity came in picture as default, I had to look for much better flavor.  I would say, Unity is for kids to play around.  Linux is always far better than any other desktop operating system and Ubuntu plays a major role in that to bring it as more people friendly.  I tried Debian, Fedora 16, Mint Lisa & Ubuntu 12. I liked Mint 10; some how I wanted to try the latest flavor.      Debian - This is the base platform for Ubuntu and Mint.  But Debian is powerful and I recommended if you are really interested to play harder with Linux.  Set up itself very minimal and you won't get any wireless driver support.  You have to plug in the network cable, if you want to have complete installation once the base part finished.  Everything has to manually configure. ...

     I read somewhere, the success of current social network model is because some one's eager/curiosity to look into others life.  That means people doesn't want to look at their own life instead they are eager to see what is happening on others.  At the same time they are eager to show what they have.  If we take a look at this in a different way, it is a kind of jealous.  You are jealous about what other have and not you have.  If someone shows something over the social networks, you are also trying to imitate the same thing, same way.  Especially like Facebook, if others get more "like" or "comments" you also will have that jealous grows much higher to grab attention from others.  So for that you will do anything.  Recently, I read a line in Facebook written on someone's wall and it is public; "Don't steal my food".  Actually both are siblings and staying in one house.  Why don't they talk each other? Why to...

    A big change starts from a person to a group to a community and to the nation so on.  For each and everything the factor of a change, whether it is good or bad, starts from a single person or group of people.  Let me tell you an incident here.  I was reaching to a bus stop.  There were few passengers, whom I know, standing and formed a queue and waiting for the bus.  There were some people scattered around the area.  A lady was standing little far from this place and was part of that scattered people.  After a while the queue starts growing.  This lady, slowly moved towards the line and starts to stand outside of the line, after 3rd person from the head.  Some people who came very late saw this lady stands out and starting queuing behind her.  The result there were 2 queues with single head and the opportunity to those who came first were lost.  Here, the bad manner or behavior of that lady caused the trouble. ...

     According to dictionary, the word dowry means the money, goods or estate that a wife brings to husband at marriage.  In Bible old testments, there are similar system mentioned.  But it's just opposite way.  If a man wants to marry a woman, he must pay a sum or gift to the woman's parents.  It's very clearly written there; describing Issac's and Rebekah's marriage ( Genesis 24 ).  But in today's custom, girls parents must pay it to groom as bride's price.  When it was changed?  Who changed it?  No clear evidence available in history.  The old concept mentioned in religious book was good at that time, the groom pay the bride's price and bought over and regain his rights on his wife.  But now-a-days, bride's parents should pay the price to groom and loose the rights on her too and they are more worried about their daughters.  In another word, groom gets money, property or whatever and get full rights on his ...

     The Perhentian Islands are two islands named Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian Island) and Pulau Perhentian Besar (Large Perhentian Island). The Malay name Perhentian is translated as “place to stop”.  The islands remain relatively untouched and the only permanent inhabitants live in a small fishing village on Perhentian Kecil. Apart from footpaths that cut through the jungle, there are no roads on the islands. The only way to get around is by walking through the jungle or taking a sea taxi. Perhaps it is the stretches of white beach or the crystal clear water and the superior scuba diving. Perhaps it is the untouched forests or the relaxed atmosphere and unspoiled charm.        We, around 19 men, started our journey from Kuala Lumpur (KL) on July 15th night.  It's our first trip to Kuala Terenganu side ( I guess ) and we are not sure how to reach the places; but we know what are the prime st...
