After A long time...!!

I dont know why i can not keep continue writing the things i have started, whether it be a blog or diary or anything... I just cant figure it out.. anyways past few days have been very hectic as there is a huge pressure to finish off the project for my final year of engineering..

Urmm.. i am not so sure about what should i write given that i havent wrote in here in a long long time.. so i suppose i would just write about some of the little problems i faced during the project which seem to be a little but still it took quite a bit of work to get around those problems...

1. $.fancybox.close() not working, Firfox giving "wrap is undefined" problem..

                         This problem, most probably occur when you are including the Fancybox.js and jquery.js twice, first in the parent window and then again in the fancybox popup window.. If you are using the fancybox type as "iframe" parent.$.fancybox.close() should work fine but if you are using it as 'AJAX' make sure to not include those two jquery files twice... !!!

So if you are facing this error, simple remove the fancybox.js and jquery,js from fancybox popup window... ! and you are good to go..!

2. Ckeditor + fancybox + javascript...
                       

                       Suppose you are having quite a few anchor tags in your parent window and each one is supposed to be applied fancybox(), which in turn opens up an popup window with each link creating a unique instance of Ckeditor in your modal fancy popup... the scenario which i faced was that when you click on the first link the fancybox and ckeditor works fine.. however once you close it and try to open up a second fancybox popup through a different anchor tag, firefox will serve you with an error saying "Editor1 already exists.." 

                      

                   The solution to this error is that you have to destroy the CKeditor instance before closing the first popup to prevent naming conflict with Ckeditor instance....it goes like this...

    $(".popup").fancybox({      

        

         type : 'ajax',

            
        'onClosed'  : function() {
            if(CKEDITOR.instances.ckeditor) {
                CKEDITOR.instances.ckeditor.destroy(); }
      }
 });

I am running out of time, will write more once i come back..!!!
Happy Coding..!

                       

Gujarat Riots : 10 year later

10 years ago, at this time me and my family was terrified by the sounds of gun shootings and mobs shouting religious slogans... We could hear rioting people were somewhat close to our society and we were almost prepared that they would come and kill us. Luckily we were saved. But lot of people were not fortunate enough like us. Thousands were killed during that bloody time span in '02. Today i wanted to note down some of my thoughts about those riots. Since i was just 10 during riots i didn't even know what Riot was like until it started on 27th February, '02.. I always thought Gujarat is one of the most peaceful place on the face of earth but i was not aware that there are exceptions when even the most established facts end up as a hoax. I do not want to write about what and how things happened.. I want to write about what exactly changed after 2002...

- First major change i think is the general perception of Muslims about Gujarat Government and Police. Most of the Muslims do not trust Government and the police system anymore..

( Some might think I am exaggerating things, for those i want to tell one thing.. I myself have seen police coming to poor muslim areas where people would store some water in big tanks in case their houses are set to fire. Police used to go there and spill the water so that they can ease the work of mobs of destroying houses. I am not saying Police worked against muslims all i am saying is that police worked against a particular group of people and by my knowledge i understand it was so because the Government ordered them to do so. The police did same in 1984 during Anti sikh riots and when the government was of the other political party. Riots are sad and should strongly be condemned and prevented by all means. )

- The way people buy houses. Not a single Muslim here, wants to live or have a business in an area where Hindus are majority and vice-versa.. Its not because of the hatred, instead they fear of an another 2002 happening in the future.
( major proof : In and major city of Gujarat, if you know where a person lives you can be sure about the community he belongs to. )

- the most disappointing : Education of Muslim children was negatively affected by the riots. considering 90% of them including me, were not able to go to school for like 6 months. and my observation says during that time almost all the GOOD SCHOOLs where in Hindu majority areas, atleast in my city. Therefore Muslim parents chose to admit their children in nearest schools possible even if they were not really up to the standards. vice-versa is also true for Hindu children going to Muslim Schools. but that number stands far less. However now things have started to change... !!
(i used to go in a school in a Hindu majority area, there were almost 20 muslim classmates before riots, after 6 months when i again went to class there were only two of us.)

- Media the ugly truth.. 60% of the state print media pretended to be Neutral and truthful on the cover page but inside they used to present things in a way which motivated the rioters.. not all of them did it but majority of them did.

======================================================================

I could go on for long. but this list is an implication how exactly things were POLARIZED after 2002, however they are slowly improving.

But we have still far to go for the unbiased, peaceful society. Muslim areas are still not provided with the basic infrastructure. There are very less Banks, ATMs, quality roads etc in these areas. I am highly hopeful that one day this wont be true, any longer.

(We do not have Gas Pipelines in our area which are much cheaper and safer then the gas cylinders we use , the main pipe line of gas is just 1 km away from where i live. still they deny to give a connection saying "We are not ordered to service in that area, thank you")

"there are no categorized items" issue while Installing ADT plugin for eclipse

As one of my friend faced it and told me that while installing ADT for eclipse the software list contained this : "There are no categorized items", solution to this is
Untick the "Group items by category check box" 

A poem

I am bad when it comes to poems that too specially in english.. but here is a small poem i came up with today...

they say, life is this and life is that
i think it is what you give and get...

they say, life is there in Gandhi's deed
i see, life is also there in Hitler's greed...

they say, Life is there in God's idol, made of clay..
but I saw life in poor child's foodless day..

they say life is simple, just sitback and relax..
i now know its all about you and your Acts.

they say life is in what you are and what you got, too
but, Finally I realized life is actually what i am going through..

: )

A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error code: 0x8007000 : Solved

Recently i was fixing somebody's pc. which was giving the above error whenever i tried to boot normally.. However i was able to boot in safe mode with command prompt. This error actually drove me nuts. But finally as always i found the solution.

This usually occurs when these three files are missing or corrupted...

C:\Windows\System32\secupd.dat
C:\Windows\System32\oembios.dat
C:\Windows\System32\oembios.bin

So what you need to do is..

Copy this files from some other Computer having XP installed. or you can also copy them from Windows installation disk. To copy from windows disk you need to do following

1. Boot in safe mode with command prompt : to do that press F8 after the display of your bios.

2. Once you are done. insert windows installation disk and browse to the I386 folder copy the file with extension XXXXX.XX_ where XXXX.XX is the file name with first 2 letters of the extension. Rename it to a .cab file and extract the file to system32.

that means rename the file oembios.DA_ by oembios.cab...

3. reboot and you are done..

If this doesn't work.. let me know...!!

Honesty

I came across a weird incident today. It was weird because it was like excitement, joy, disappointment, and guilt everything mixed in one pack..

So one of my friend who knows that i am quite good at computers told me that his old neighbor was having some problem with his PC. i told him i could help him but i would take 100 bucks, market rate is 300 bucks by the way..!! now lemme clarify that i told him about the money just because i didn't want to be available all the time... I mean there are a lot of people who call me when they need technical assistance in this sort of things but i don't want to be doing it for free always, considering my relations with people i just get things done with the fees of one "thank you" but sometimes its to much... Right now i have three CPU boxes at my place which i am suppose to repair with no fees whatsoever.. So coming back to the point, for the first time i went to this person's home with intention of making money, which was "exciting"..I took a look at  PC, and the only solution according to my knowledge was reinstalling the entire operating system which would take almost an hour, and furthermore i would have required to install all the softwares again. I tried to figure out an alternate and appropriate solution with no luck which was "disappointing". meanwhile another person whom Mr.Rana(the person with Problem PC) had called two days before for the same problem, came. He didn't come for two days therefore Mr. Rana had called me... this late lateef person is a professional hardware engineer, he didn't really have any degree, but his father taught me everything related to PC..he is distant relative of Mr. Rana so he gets things done for free, the only problem is that he is never not time...anyways he told me the solution is just a small trick... I just let him do it and he did it in no time... here came the "guilt" of not being able to do it... afterwards when i was leaving the house Mr. Rana handed me 100 bucks, i resisted realizing that i wasn't the one who solved the Error but he still put it in my pocket saying it was for my efforts... Here comes the "joy" you get when people appreciate you no matter you succeeded or not.....


Thank you Mr. rana, it was pleasure meeting you!! I am gonna save this 100 bucks always..

Issue : intex speakers doesn't play songs from USB...Solved..!!!

So just now one of my cousin called me and said his Intex speaker has stopped playing Music from his USB pen drive... He told me that his speaker's USB port might have stopped working.  So i tried to figure out the solution.. and found it...This problem might occur if you are trying to play your media files from the Pen drive which is formatted as NTFS... the reason is that these Intex speakers are not able to access files in NTFS format, you need to change the format of your pendrive to more simple formats such as FAT or FAT32... So Follow these steps and you will be enjoying your Songs again...

1. Determine the format of your pen drive if it is NTFS or FAT...to do that insert pen drive to PC and right click the drive of USB.. select properties from there.. you will see something like this...

2. If it is NTFS than you need to change it to FAT.. for that Right click again and select format.. and format as FAT... it will look something like this... Remember to take backup before formatting..

3. again copy songs to your pen drive and Enjoy... its working again..

An Image..!

I clicked this image on my way to Ajmer from train window. And somehow this image is very special for me. It gives me calming and soothing vibes...its so awesome when you are looking out of the window looking at things running backwards...!

When i see this image i feel how crowded place we live in. whenever i get out of my house i see people walking, running for their works. Nobody has time for true life.. Globalization has made us more than busy and the time we get is just spent on facebook etc... i asked myself what was the last time i went to my neighbours to say "Hi", what was the last time i told my mom "I love you", what was the last time i had a long log conversations with my friends apart from Fb and Texts... the answer is quite a long time ago...

Just look at this place in the image, i cant see a single person till the horizon.... I  wish i could forget everything and live somewhere like this...!!

Nokia s40 V5 lost memory card password issue...!!

Well before few days i gave my nokia 5130 to this friend who accidentally locked the memory card with a password (i never kept the password btw) and he was dumb enough to not remember it.. i got the phone back only to see that memory card was no longer accessible without the password...

I went to the local harware repair shop, where the person told me he could do it but it will format my memory card which i didnt want to.. i saved it for my last choice...
I searched for this online with no luck, but luckily i knew that this passwords are stored in s40v5 in pm files of phone system.. and so i googled some technical term combinations and woha... i got it.. so all you need to get the phone Unlocked is....
1 Nokia PC suite
2 Nemesis Service suite (NSS)
3 Data cable ( obviously )

Steps :
1. Connect your phone in PC Suite mode
2. Open Nemesis Service suite (NSS)
3. Then click on scan for new devices button (top right side)
4. Click "phone info".
5. Now Click "Scan"
6. Select Permanent Memory.
7. Click on Read.
8. It will read the permanent memory file and save it on the disk at following path.
C:\Program Files\NSS\Backup\pm\<IMEI>.pm
9. Open the .pm file using Notepad.
10. Now scroll until field [308], and on the 5th Record (5=) your security code is saved at there.
11. Like 5=31323334350000000000
12. Remove all  alternate "3" digits and it will be 31323334350000000000
13. 123454 is your security code.

This method definitely works for symbian operating system phones.. i have tested it and i am glad i did..!!!

What the hell is all these?

People have problems with the way you are as if its their own life which is being affected by the things you do.. well at least they think so. i never chose to be like this, the same way they never chose to be like that. when i say this and that that doesn't mean i mean something bad or good.. i am just generalizing things. the place where i live is just so weired i have been living here since i was like 2 but never understood it.. i am not saying its bad or anything but the people here are just to weired... i have never been able to make friends here except two or three. i just dont feel like doing it. their talks are weired. the language they use is absurd.. i am not saying about the total population in general, but just the people of my age with whom i can hang out with.. some of them respect me.. they know i am different from them in terms of mindset, people who dont respect at least dont say anything.. but there are few who have problems with every single thing i do. i cant take it anymore..

they think i dont smoke is bad, they think it is pathetic that i have phobia of speed, they think riding the motorbike as fast as possible is the best thing to do in the world.. people here are obsessed with girls they keep staring at every good looking girl. they are obseesed with taking their numbers. people here think nobody can say us anything... they are ready to be in fight anytime anywhere if challenged..there are a lot of things i have hard time to fit in..

I dont get it.. i have so many friends at the place i study i took tuition.. its just that here i am helpless. i feel lonely. even though i am not...!!

Just another evening

This is just another evening when i am sitting in front of my desktop thinking of posting on blog, typing and erasing and typing again... I don't know but sometimes i just become Blank... its actually good... at least mind gets some rest... otherwise since the time i wake up i keep thinking, wondering about things which are not even important for me...

Work work work,,,,,

its been quite long since i wrote here last time.. there are lot of things i have to do and time is running short... in between i am happy for many things... and tensed because of few others

So first the happy side... in the project i am working i have got this guy working with me who is enthusiastic, energetic, friendly, egoless, and whatever you may count... from all the people i have met all my life, he is the best person to work with... we both have similar thoughts, similar goals, simliar paths... different conditions  though...:P but its okay... at last all that count is the destination we are approaching....there are few other things i am happy about.. but not much time to write them all....

the sad part... urmmm.... not really want to write.....!!

So its all for now...

Valleys and hills

"I failed" as i am fan of Thomas alva edison i can say "i just came to know the path which leads to failure".. ..  i never thought i can fail in my life, well at least in academics.. but i did.. i am not really happy coz i failed, but as people are saying me to be positive i would say i atleast know how failing in a thing which you never thought would happen feels.....


I dont really compare with people as i used to do before ( thanks to potatoe queen and rockstar whotold me not to do so), but this time i just cant help it but to think that everybody performed well except me... i am yet to figure out where exactly "Things went wrong"  but the important thing is they did go wrong which i will make sure they dont...!!!

Allah knowss...!!!!

Friends...:D

I dont know why i am even writing this one.. but i just felt like noting this down so here it is... yesterday evening while coming back from college one of my friend Rayte stumbled upon something and accidentally put all his weight on my Chappal ( a footware)... so now one of the main strips of it which was keeping the chappal held to my legs was broken.. so now i was there middle of the road walking like a disabled man coz of the broken chappal...:D i didnt have enough money to buy new one.. and the place around was not really the place i could buy a chappal...!!!

i had three friends with me who all had their differnet views... Rayte (stumbled guy :P ) told me to go home simply with the broken chappal which i obviously didn't want to... after all walking around with broken chappal wasn't a good idea after all..

Meet was with Rayte but unlike Rayte he also demonstrated some ways for how i can walk with that broken thing...The way he was doing that made me think of a person who lost his limbs in the Iraq war, if not then a person from a Third world country leaving with polio..

till then Neel was silent.. and suddenly he said "Feviquick : ek chutki mai chipkaye"...and then three of them had some discussion about the best option available and decided that we would find a shop where we can buy this "ultimate Adhesive" (as per neel)... well not to mention the place didn't have any normal grocery shop around so no one of us so hopeful that we would find one except Neel... he kept saying feviquick is available at any shop. ok it doesn't really sound wrong but Neel was pointing to a travel office, local chay wala, and a snack's shop... i mean Travel office???? lol...

so now we are wandering around with my broken chappal to find Feviquick..:D...and then suddenly like an angel appearing from the shop at the side of the road said he had feviquick..Neel bought one and finally handed me over this small tube containng 5 ml of magical adhesive which can stick almost everything (As per neel obviously..) i applied it over the broken part and WOHHAA... it worked...there was still some of the liquid remaining Neel told me if i had anything else to get repaired..!!! but fortunately apart from chappal rayte didnt fall upon anything else..!! :D



so finally we all departed with me my completely perfect chappal in my legs..:D i should thank Rayte because without him not stumbling upon my chappal i wouldn't  have been able to have fun like we did..:D

the resoan why i am writing this is that,  from past expeirences i can tell that having a broken chappal is not a good situation one would want to be in.. but when your friends are with you almost everything seems fun...!!!

What would i do if i was there??

Today i saw the movie Carriers. Its about 4 friends trying to survive in a world devastated by a deadly virus. First i thought it would be some those silly zombie movie where the virus turns the people into a horrible creature feeding on flesh... but this movie was different it shows how relations and love between people are tasted in extreme situation. Few moments touched me deeply. specially when one of the actors lefts his girlfriend whom he loves by all his heart coz she is infected, when a guy shoots his older brother to relive his pain. etc.

The movie is over and i am left with thoughts running all over my brain.. what would i do if i am in such situation? what would i choose if i had to....would the basic morals i have been taught all my life would still bind me or i will.......!!!!!!!!!!

Trying to be BAD...!!!

I know the tittle seems very weird. who wants to become bad?? and even if they are trying for it, posting it on a public blog seems foolish..isnt it?? But yea seriously i believe i have been "GOOD" all my life. my problem is not being good but being good more than required makes you look weaker. I am not saying all this just because of one experience but actually i have had few times when i realized i am getting USED...!!! here i want to write about few of the experiences i have had from some SICK personalities...!

1st ) I helped him a lot when he needed someone badly, i gave him all the time i had in vacations(when i could have go enjoying, traveling and gaming, instead) but now he thinks i am arrogant, self-centered, and completely unhelpful person who cant help someone without his personal interests... i am getting treated like this by him may be coz i was little bit more helpful to him before??

2) i always thought hes a good person, a good student if not a good friend then at least a good classmate.. i never tried to make fun of him. i never tried to bully him either like most of the people do... well its not that i am not good at teasing and teasing a LOSER like him is not a tough thing to do also...lol...but i always respect people no matter how they are, how they look, what race they are or any other barriers this human society has made..!!! but just think how it feels when the person whom you always supported when things were against him tells you SHUT-THE-FUCK-UP..!!!! That too when you were actually responding to his one of the silly questions he asks people making him look like mental patient .Instead i could have just ignored answering his question like most people do with him...!!!!!!! All my life i had never faced such harsh and rude comments from anyone...he told me all this shitt may be coz i was more den GOOD with him to begin with???



(FYI hes just a LOSER who has got no life whatsoever.. sometime he behaves like a psycho.. and i am gonna punch him in the face if he says something like this again)

3) I had this friend in my school whom people used to bully to often.. i stood by him and helped him face the situation... after few months he was talking to one person, he thought i was out of the class that time... but he didn't know i was seating at the last bench that time.. so his lines were "Akif is f**ing Muslim, whom i wont even see in my life once the school is over"....this was coz may be i was more supporting than i should be???
(I pity on this sick racist)

there are few others i wanted to write but i am hungry and i want to eat something badly...lol
but i am gonna be bad for all the bad.. and good for all the good.. :) CHEERS...!!!!

Everybody is changing coz IT WAS NOT THE CASE TODAY>>>>>

Yes everyone has changed or is it just my brain trying to think "Out of the box"... ??? :P

- I always thought my brother would never wake up without anyone shouting at him. but surprisingly it was not the case today...

- I always thought Meet tries to finish the texting conversations as soon as possible but it was not the case today...

- I used to believe jay would never initiate the convo but it was not the case today.

- I never thought some not-so-close-friend would ever spare his whole day for me just because i was sick and i needed someone but Faizal did, so ofcourse it was not the case today.
 
- I never thought i would ever have a convo with her without "LOLs" "haha" and "xDs" but it was not the case today.                          

- I never thought i would write such a BAD post here but IT IS NOT THE CASE today...!!!!

After a long time... That too on my Birthday...

Yea i know its been quite long since i wrote here...i don't think people will actually read this so it doesn't matter anyways...So the Reason why i am writing on this blog is today is my BIRTHDAY... from several days i was planning about the things i wanted to do today but i got fever and cold along with severe muscular pain and now i am writing this at the time when i should be out there enjoying and partying...

but honestly the thing which i missed the most was being a BIRTHDAY BOY in the college...The feeling which you get when your college friends are wishing you personally shaking hands with you or patting your back is just superb...but unfortunately i missed the fun being with friends on the day of my birthday... though i am happy that i have got lots of wishes through Email, Texts, and Fb so far..!!!



I don't know if my friends are ever going to read this.. but thank you all those who wished me from the bottom of my heart....

yea i forgot to wish myself.....:D so here it goes...
Akif, Happy bday to you.. many many happy returns of the day...!!

My first entry

I was getting bored thinking what to do..... and suddenly something came to my mind like "EUREKA"!!!!
it was "let me start blogging"... and i am here... now this will be an online place for me and my crazy thoughts.....
