Note: The procedure given happened to me, I do not guarantee you the same, may be I was lucky or you will be.
I leave the details of the trip (tiring but exciting) for my next post, and will try to outline the procedure to get the Schengen Student Visa for Internship from German Consulate at Kolkata. I specifically mentioned Kolkata because my friends faced quite a lot of problems at the Delhi Embassy.
So you start with your documents, here is the list:

“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:

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.
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.

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.

Recently, I was working on a project and I needed to convert the relative URLs to their absolute URLs. An absolute URL such as “http://www.example.com/image.jpg” but mostly written as only “image.jpg” (relative URL) on the web pages. Web browser creates a complete URL using this relative URL and base URL. The base URL, must be absolute and it is often the URL of the web page containing the relative URL.
Now, if you need to access a file whose relative URL and base URL are known, you must combine them to create an absolute URL.
