Hey Coders ,
Wish you all the Luck for upcoming Facebook Hacker Cup.!!
Here I will be presenting you with MY solution for the first practice puzzle "Hoppity Hop".
I am really disappointed that .NET coders are not involved in the competition :( but still it will be fun to solve these puzzles.... :-)).
I will post solutions for other puzzles in my coming posts..so keep an eye..!
Many of my friends were annoyed and keep asking " Is there no damn way to be invisible in facebook chat?"
The obvious reason was they want to avoid certain buggy friends who they dont wanna chat but at same time can not remove them from friend's list....what a misery!!
So the good news is that it's a child's play to be invisible in facebook chat!
Below is a step by step guide for those who are still in misery :
(To enlarge image just click on them)
1.At the bottom right chat panel click on "chat" link.
2.Click on "Friend's list" tab .
3.Create a new friends list for eg "Buggy".
4.Now you can see "Buggy" in the list.
5.Bring the mouse cursor on "Buggy" and you will see "edit" link.
6.Using edit you can add desired friends into buggy list.
.Now all you need to do is just click the white green capsule image and it will turn fade and your "buggy" list friends can not see you online anymore until you want them to.
I hope this helps!
Although I tried to explain each and every step with images still if you have any query you can post as comments or you can directly contact me...
I was really very excited about this movie from the day I heard that it's all about our beloved facebook.
Isn't is exciting to know how a college boy starts something small and make it so big and addictive that it changed the way people socialize.
Below is the official Promo:
PLOT : Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) is an undergrad at Harvard in 2003.He is a Computer Geek and genius on it. One night his girl friend Erica breaks up with him after a heated conversation.
Here we know that Mark is such a nerd..even his date talks are technical..anti-romantic and he is ambitious and quick-witted who is always clear with his ideas.
That breakup night he is upset and furious .With the dose of booz and fury he posts bad things about Erica on his blog.Then he gets pictures of girls from different universities by hacking into servers and creates a girls ranking site where people vote for hotter girl from 2 random images displayed.This ultimately makes Mark a bad guy in everyone's eyes.
Some reputed Phoenix club guys are working on idea of HarwardConnection website and they take Mark in as a programmer.Mark starts working on his individual project of facebook with help of his best friend Eduardo Saverin(Andrew Garfield).The facebook grows exponentially and the rest of movie shows the complex situations , emotions during its growth.Mark has big plans and he teams up with Sean Parker(Justin Timberlake) founder of napster.In all this Eduardo is left behind and is isolated.Gradually facebook turns to be a big hit and things become bigger now from office to Mark.Mark and Eduardo develop differences over facebook.Movie shows that how the Eduardo is fooled by Mark and his associates which eventually make Eduardo sue facebook.The phoenix club guys also sue Mark for stealing their idea.
PERFORMANCE: Almost all actors are young and dynamic.Each single character played so well under the well known director David Fincher.Jesse did a remarkable job as Mark.Justin Timberlake was a cherry on top in the movie.the cinematography worked wonders for the movie along with powerful dialogues and punchlines.
CONCLUSION: Under wonderful direction and wonderful dialogues and some wonderful cinematography this movie is a wonderful delight.A true gem!! I give it a 9/10 and recommend it as a must watch.
One of my team mate recommended me this movie and I scheduled the watch on weekend.
The title itself sounded very interesting and so my expectations were also raised..
Below is the promo :
Since the very first scene of movie you can just feel the thrill.!!
PLOT : An Islam converted American man Steven Arthur Younger AKA Yusuf Mohammad (Michael Sheen) sends threat tape made in some gloomy location to U.S.Government .He claims to have placed 3 nuclear bombs set to explode after 6 days if his demands are not fulfilled.He has not revealed his demands yet.
Obviously this creates chaos in all U.S secrete agencies including higher officials of government.
FBI agent Helen Brody (Carrie-Anne Moss) is shown as a very smart and professional agent who is trying everything to solve the case.
At this point I guessed that now its going to be just another FBI type movie.(I was wrong :D )
Now comes the bad man : an undercover shadowy C.I.A agent type character Henry Herald 'H' Humphries AKA 'H'(Samuel L. Jackson).He is depicted as a brutal,lunatic and violent officer who can cross any limits of torture on his subjects and he fears no one. In one scene he even beats one of team mate.
The whole operation command is given to some secret military base and 'H' and Helen were to work under military authority.As they both reach military base they find that Yusuf is already captured and they need to get bomb locations from him.'H' starts interrogation with his most brutal ways with his torture tools.This upsets everyone present there and some tension is created.In between Helen is also given chance to question Yusuf. Yusuf has already planned everything right from his capture.Despite too much torture he didn't say a word.
Movie intensity increases highly now..everyone is in tension.Helen even threatens 'H' to stop torturing.Lateron tension is further increased when a bomb explodes in public place.Then Yusuf's wife and children are brought.
The brutal throat slit of yusuf's wife by 'H' came as a shock to everyone including me..It was totally unthinkable!! but when it cam to children Yusuf reveals the bomb locations...but something is going to be very UNTHINKABLE in climax....
PERFORMANCE : The whole movie dances around Samuel,Carrie and Michael. Each of them did justice to their role..neither too much..nor too less..just perfect! I am really impressed by Samuel..looks like he has done one of his best roles ever...!! The other crew members also played their role very well.
CONCLUSION : I loved the movie.It truly lived to its title.Very unpredictible....very intense...very thrilling! I will give 8/10 and recommend it as essential watch!
I was researching on a stock when I came across a comment where this movie was highly recommended by some stock analyst.
Although the title "GAFLA" caught my attention immediately but i was wondering how come I never heard of this movie before..whenever I am in dilemma about a movie,IMDB is my best friend!
The ratings and reviews were good enough to compel me to give it a try...!
Within initial 5 minutes of watching I understood that am going to love this movie and I loved indeed!
PLOT : The movie is based on famous Harshad Mehta's 1992 Stock Scam that led to market crash of 1992.
With the base of very strong and realistic story the movie progresses fast enough that you hardly get a chance to loose your attention.Subodh Mehta (Vinod Sherawat) is a common but highly ambitious young man living in mumbai with his parents and a sister.Subodh has limited source of earnings and he wanted to do something really big that can fulfill his ambitions and dreams.He decides to try his luck in stock market.He started working for sub-brokers .He went through many ups and downs before he eventually established his own broking company and evolved as successful big bull of the market.The movie shows lot of instances from Harshad Mehta's life. Things like selling his house to his boss to repay dues, starting a company, 400 Crore Indian Bank scam etc. were part of Harshad Mehta's life too. The movie also shows a love affair between Subodh and Vidya (Shruti Ulfat). Climax is quite expected and very well directed . The movie is narrated since beginning to end and this style added to it's effectiveness.
PERFORMANCE : Movie has no big names in its star cast and it was really hard for me to believe that this star cast has delivered so well under a very mature direction.Each and every character was given adequate share of role and has played his/her role just perfectly...yes i said perfectly.! I was most impressed by Vikram Gokhale as Rasiklal bhejnani ...really impressive.
CONCLUSION : The only thing I hated was that this movie was not promoted at all else it would have been a different story for "GAFLA".
I will give 4.5 out of 5 for being able to bound me from start to very end. Watch and enjoy..!!

Hello friends... I am super excited about stock market tomorrow....the obvious reason for my super duper excitement is that I have got 3 lots (195) shares of Power Grid FPO(Follow on Public Offer). One of the reason to buy this FPO was the recent GRAND SHOW by Coal India IPO...I regret I missed that opportunity..seriously!! One of my friend bought coal India IPO and made 40% clean profit on first day of this stock's listing!!! I guess 50% luck part worked very well in case of coal India... Hey.. but that doesn't mean that every IPO/FPO is going to follow the same trend... ;)
You CAN NOT be lucky every time Sir!
So of coarse I did my 50% analysis part and below are some major points to be considered before buying :
Carries 51% of Generated Power Accross Country - 89170 MVA Transformation Capacity
Telecom NLD with 20733 Km Optical Fibre Network & Internet Service Provider. with Asset of Rs. 47744 Crs as on Sept 30,2010
Current Supply of electricity is far less than demand...so there is lot to happen in transmission/telecom hence strong and secure future for the company.
Coal India subscribers who could not get the shares have to invest somewhere so where will that extra money flow now?..yes back to stock market in some form.
Well personally I purchased this FPO for intraday/short term with a target of Rs. 110-120 on monday. I would recommend this stock for long term with a target of around Rs.200 (2-3 years). Well friends lets see how my luck is going to be on monday in between the heavily correcting market..!! It will be fun to watch..!! :) :)
Seriously friends...I think on an average its diwali period when any Indian receives his/her maximum happy moments!
Its one of the top religious festivals celebrated by everyone..no matter big-small...rich-poor..young-old...hindu-non hindu.
It brings joy and smile on every face.
Of course the widest smiles are of kids firing crackers all around!!!
Unfortunately for me its not the diwali that i just described above..!! :(
My left ankle fractured few weeks back and I still have to use a walker..(i hate that i am so dependable on it)
I am away from my hometown and Diwali is best celebrated with Family...so you can understand my condition.
As i am typing this I can feel the festival in form of sound of crackers,fireworks outside.
Some crackers seems like they will pass all limits of decibel scale!! ------------->
"It's really funny that that the same cracker was a source of pleasure and amusement when I was kid.. the sound of same has become noise for me now...Things do change!"
This is me and my sweet sister celebrating my (may be) 5th diwali....it was then when i was loving the sound of crackers...but as I said earlier...things do change!
Life progresses so fast....today I am celebrating my (certainly) 25th diwali...but personally I feel that the diwali that I celebrated in my 5th was the best I ever had and that I will never have..!
OK I should come out of memories now...
Because we just got some very delicious diwali sweets ...yummy..!!! ok leaving now...I can not insult sweets by not eating them at once...!!
Hello friends....I dont know if its a sheer coincidence or goddess durga's will that I happen to start my blog on this holy day of dussehra... Well I think I actually planned this coincidence ;) Jai maan Durge!
No its not that I am a die hard devotee of maan durga but whenever I cherish the golden memories linked with this festival I feel like heaven....Take a break for now..I will be back after my guitar class.!
Always smile and try to make others too.
Never ever back down in life..
I love music ,gadgets ,coding, badminton,table tennis...
For now I am learning guitar...
