So, My life is pretty darn boring, nowadays. So i started looking for a opensource project in python, mostly so that i could learn something much more than current job is teaching me (which is mucccccccch more than any other usual job), and I came across this. It a “open source” project named “kunWiki” (an extension of mediaWiki, the platform Wikipedia is based on), by some guy name Kunal Deo. 

I cannot digest the fact how he can name a opensource project after himself (especially when he did not do anything tangiable for the project except making a stupid ppt), and expect people to contribute ? Its like buying fame for oneself, in the name of community and Open source development.  

Kunal, Please stop asking for help from opensource community, if you want to do a “personal” project

Since my life has been pretty darn boring (though busy ), for the last few months, I have decided (finally…. ) to do something about it. I am having an idle domain app-world.com, so I have decided to buy a hosting plan and start a new blog.

Hopefully, I will be  blogging frequently over there. 

ciao,

Mohit

I posted at rakesh’s blog about 2 of my favorite topics, python and philosophy.(after a good break from blogging for almost a year) Actually its a philosopical discussion of life worthness in pythonic manner.

Read it here.

so, whats your life_worthiness_quotient?

The importance of meeting and interacting with smart people is highly understated. One get immense influence of such people’s with their tiniest interaction.

I recently get the opportunity to have a conversation with such, one of the more enlightened person. We came up discussing about the some business process, and I got some information from him, in which I saw an exciting opportunity and idea and as he said, “Its all about capitalizing on the opportunity, as it present itself”

About the idea, I will hopefully write soon…

Till then….. So long

*Contains Spoilers

I happen to be a big fan of both, Harry Potter and LOTR. Both are legendary novels and they have written few chapters that can never be forgotten.

Lets see few of the similarities in both the plots

a) Both the movies have a super-powerful villain (Lord Voldemort/Dark Lord Sauron ), who was extremely powerful in the past, weakened (but not finished) due to some happenings and is trying to come back to power.

If he comes back….. it would be impossible to stop him(from wrongdoings)

So the aim is to not allow him to come to power

b) In both the movies, the required task could only be done by a particular bunch of people (Harry, Ron, Hermione/Frodo, Sam ). No other can do it!!

c) There is only one way to defeat the Villain (Destroy all the Horcruxes/Destroy the One Ring) and he already knows about it.

d) There is a wise-person in both the novels (Professor Dumbledore/Gandalf the Grey ), Who knows all and does not seem to make a mistake ever.

e) The protogonists (Harry, Ron, Hermione/ Frodo, Sam) are way too weak for the Villain ( Lord Voldemort/Dark Lord Sauron), but only they can face/fail him.

f) Though the wise-person is perfect (and an almost equal match for the villain), he cannot destroy/defeat the villain. His role is limited only to guidance/strategy making.

I was recently travelling a very boring journey and had some ideas for brutal tortures.

I shall assume the sex of the torturee to be male and also that the victim is totally under your control. So let the fun begin…

1. How much can you drink?

In this torture, you hand-cuff the person on the chair, and take a pipe, having a diameter of around 4.5 – 5 inches to be put in the victim’s mouth till the end of his throat so that he can not speak or spit the pipe out of his mouth. And also, the torturee will be uncomfortable having a 5 inch pipe in his mouth.

Now from the pipe, start feeding Water or Soda ( I personally would prefer coca-cola), at very high speed. After few seconds, the victim’s stomach will be full and soda shall start flowing from his nose, ears and eyes until his stomach bursts.

Now, enjoy the agony……. of the torturee.

2. Eyes, my eyes….

In this one, you stick the eyelids of the person-to-be-tortured with the brown tape (those who have packed recently, will understand what i mean), so that he can not close his eyes.

Also make arrangements so that the victim of your torture cannot move his head.

Now, start a blower fan at 2 inch distance from the eyes of the victim.

What it will do? Try not blinking your eyes for 2 minutes, and you shall know.

3. Dead or Alive – Does it matter? you are buried, man!!!

This one is my favourite.

First of all, give doses of local anesthesia to your dearest for his entire body, except head, so that he can see whats going on with him. Then cementify your torturee from toe to neck. Now put him in a coffin, made such that only 6 inches room is available, once the body is put inside.

Put the coffin in the graveyard, 6 feet down, with the cemented person inside it. Do not close the coffin door till you actually dig.

Remember the person can see every of your step and what you are going to do with him. That makes this torture such fun, the victim is tortured mentally, through out the process.

Put a microphone right above the victim’s eyes, to hear his traumatic yells, once you bury him.

PS – My journey was really uncomfortable

I always wonder what makes people successful ? I dont know if such ‘Formula’ exists. I have seen this world,well not much. 20 years are too less to know any thing about this world. but i always get the feeling(from what i have seen) that most deserving people are not always the most successful ones, sucess eludes them from one reason or another. what could it be??

I dont know, I am not successful either. one thing i know for sure that successful people hardly make any blunders.They know what to do well before it actually has to be done.They are planners,people who change the face of the world, or atleast their life, by planning. I might sound cliched, these all are the good qualities,talent,intelligence, hardwork etc. So whats the difference? lots of people have these qualities,they all are not successful.

Surely, Not all deserving people get what they deserve, The reason, so simple….. they do not deserve it! Yes,they have one ‘weakness’ or another which negates their qualities. Its just they do not realize it for most of the times and remain unsucessful.

I have one mind, i can think in a particular way.but my way is not necessarily correct.If you have any comments about my blog,please post them! it will help me learn this world better.

–Thanks
