I'm Back

Hey all,
Its been ages since I last posted on this blog and its been rather sometime since this blog had been taken off the internet. However, I'm back on the internet after being *really* busy at college and the blog is back online.
Well, in the time my blog was offline, I was completing my second year at college and in the summer vacations was developing a website for my dad and mom's Ultrasound clinic. You can see the final result at their home page: http://www.drkapoorsclinic.com .

AJAX और हिंदी

हाँ! अब आप हिंदी में भी भी ब्लोग कर सकते हैं। गूगल में तो कुछ अलग ही बात है। इतनी आसानी से मैंने कभी हिंदी नही लिक्खी थी। चलो, इसी बहाने मेरी हिंदी कुछ और शुद्ध हो जायेगी। इस लेख का मुख्य उद्देश्य है आपको AJAX नामक टेक्नोलॉजी (इसे हिंदी में क्या कहते हैं?) के एक अंग से परिचित करवाना। AJAX का पूर्ण नाम है Asynchronous Javascript and XML और इसी के मध्यम से मैं अभी इन्टरनेट के द्वारा ब्लॉगर के इस सुन्दर यन्त्र का फूलपूर्वक इस्तमाल कर रह हूँ। दरसल AJAX द्वारा हम Desktop जैसी look aur feel web applications को दे सकते हैं। पर आज के लिए बस इतना ही। अगले लेख में मैं इस टेक्नोलॉजी पर ज्यादा विस्तार से बात करूंगा। तब तक के लिए शुभ रात्री, शब्बा खैर, और अपना ख़याल जरूर रखियेगा। तब तक के लिए नमस्कार। ;-)

Sadi Gali - Punjabi Lyrics and Meaning (in English) - Tanu Weds Manu

Image
Another superb song makes its appearance on the Bollywood scene. Sadi Gali from Tanu Weds Manu is a perfect Punjabi Dance track. Performed by Lehmber Husainpuri from RDB, words aren't sufficient to describe it. Just listening to it makes you want to jump up and start tapping your feet to the music. It's even garnered over a million plays on Youtube. In an effort to make this song's lyrics accessible to the masses, here's the meaning of the song in English paragraph by paragraph. I made it while listening to this song non-stop on loop. Hope you enjoy it!   Kudiyan de vich phir hassdi khed di [Hasdi] x 4 Khed di Ho, gutt di parandi teri naag wangu meldi [Naagawa-] x 4 -ngu meldi Again you're smiling and playing in the midst of girls Ho, Your "gutt da paranda"* resembles the moves of a snake gutt da paranda = An artificial hair extender often worn by Punjabi women to increase the length of their locks. Kudiyan de vich phire hassdi khed di College nu j...

Tune Meri Jaana Kabhi Nahin Jaana - Lonely (Emptiness) - IIT Guwahati - Rohan Rathore

Image
Update: Rohan Rathore and his tragic story is a hoax for sure. This is confirmed. I've talked to my friends at IIT Guwahati and there is no record of such a person ever existing on campus. Nobody at IIT-G knew him and if a person dies in tragic circumstances, nearly everyone in the IIT knows it. The story about Rohan Rathore was created in order to gain views for a video on Youtube. So let us all put the "fake" Rohan Rathore to rest permanently as a person who never existed. Therefore, we can be very sure that the original singer of the song is Gajendra Verma. I'm leaving the original post below for archival purposes. ------ Original Post follows ---- I was introduced to this song by Sanat nearly a month ago and today, after listening to it again on Youtube,  I really felt that I needed to transcribe its lyrics. It's such a soulful song that you can't help feeling sentimental after hearing it - especially since the IITian (Rohan Rathod) who wrote a...

public static is harmful. It has no home in modern programming.

In the modern era of software development, "public static" is a relic of a past age. It reflects a bygone era where the concepts of composition and dependency injection were not yet well understood. In the modern world of software, where we understand both of these concepts relatively well - it's important to know that public static has no future. Let's see why: 1. public static forces static coupling, breaks composition and dependency injection This one is fairly obvious - it's in the name. A call to a public static function typically looks like: void myCallingFunction() {   MyUtils.publicStaticFunction(args); } As we can see clearly, the call to the public static function is happening with a direct reference through the containing class. The calling function is tied down to using only the implementation in MyUtils. The caller may not choose another implementation even if the caller may be calling the code in a test environment ( brittle composition ). This  ...
