Madness for Cricket!!

2 Replies

“What!! He is sleeping, It’s just 10″, I screamed ,”He usually sleeps after 1, what happened? Is he ill?”. “No, No I think there is a match tomorrow morning at 6.”, the other guy answered. I was shocked to see the dedication and enthusiasm. He never attends the morning class, no matter if his attendance drops below the required 75% but he was fast asleep for the match. This is the kind of madness I am talking about but I am unable to reason this.

Cricket as I define it on the basis of reactions from the audience:

Public Mind is up now!

1 Reply

After a lot of wait, Public Mind is up and ready to run, but with some (!!!) small changes. The blog has been shifted from publicmind.in to publicmind.in/blog. Yes, yes, I know thats a blunder, all the links directing towards the site will break, but it was neccessary and I think we can afford that too considering the fact that we have just started blogging. I am trying my best to keep the links working, so that noone experience any kind of problems. On the other side, the website has been shifted to a new high speed server (from the free hosting server that gave me limited utilities). So, Enjoy reading.

Thanks to all for their support and patience.

PHP: Archive files for Backup on Server

3 Replies

As Currently I am hosting this website on a free host, my web host imposes several limitations on me. One of them is not providing the feature to download the whole folder. This makes taking backup really hard as you have download each and every file yourself. Although it is a matter of days when I shift this website to a new server, I wrote the following PHP script which automatically archives the files in a folder and then the zip files can be easily downloaded with a single click. The script is crude in nature as I did not handle much exceptions but it works fine for me. You might need to change certain parameters to run it with your PHP resource limits. The code is pretty self explanatory although if you find difficulty understanding some part or find a bug or want to suggest any improvement, do leave a comment.

Pursuit of Happiness

Be Happy

Be Happy

No, No.. This is not the movie review (not at least from me) but the unquenchable thirst and the hunger of life. All of us, consciously or unconsciously, seek for happiness. I smoke for happiness, he drinks for happiness and the other guy gyms for happiness. We do what makes us happy. But what if one day you realize that your reasons for happiness are diminishing? You want to be happy but you don’t have a reason to be happy.

Maths has always given me a tough time from the JEE time to today. And I am happy that this is the last semester I am having a Mathematics course. So, no more Δ , ∈ and other weird looking symbols after this semester. (at least until I undergraduate)

Cheers. And yeah, I know the title is a function and not a relation.

But where will you live?

Kicked Away

Recently, my friend Anurag Nilesh got an intern in Switzerland. As I am going to Germany for the internship during summer, I thought of visiting him  and shared my thoughts with him. I was perplexed with his following reaction:

Me:  yaar, main tuzhse milne switzerland zaroor aaunga.(I will definitely come to meet you.)
nilesh: yaar lekin tu rahega kahan, wahan hotels badey mahangey hai!! (man, but where will you live, I have heard that hotels are too costly there!!)

I feel like the man above, left alone on the Airport. But I am happy that he told me this before I went to meet him.
