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....
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.
[caption id=“attachment_53” align=“alignleft” width=“118” caption=“Be Happy”] [/caption] 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.
[caption id=“attachment_44” align=“aligncenter” width=“409” caption=“Souce: www.xkcd.com”] [/caption] 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.
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.

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!...
Reservation is growing day by day from the day it was implemented just after independence. I don’t know if it was the foresight of the politicians at that time or they really cared for those who belonged to the weaker sections of the society but it is still working for their “child politicians”. It has been well discussed that the reservation must not be there on the basis of the caste but on the basis of the economy (if it must be) , still we continue to divide the country on the basis of caste, religion, sex, etc (ironically while we are actually trying to unite by this.). Although we saw a glimpse of it in OBC reservation (exemption of creamy layer) , but the issue to be addressed is far from the reach of mere and dirty politics.
If you are associated with programming in any way, this will be the one phrase you are most likely to encounter. Whether you are starting to learn a new Programming language or try to build something else, “Hello World” comes everywhere and here it is again. As it is my new website, I thought it will be a good idea to start with a “Hello World” blog entry. Will see you more often guys!...
