Being a summer,the temperatures going above 35 degrees is usual.But,due to the poor rains this year,it is unusually hot in Pune. So i and my friends decided to go for a trip and relax in a cool atmospere.My friends staying in Chennai,a place one cannot even think of in summer,The place the immediately stroke our mind was Munnar.
We booked tickets, packed up and ready to travel.But finally two of my dropped due to unavoidable circumstances.But still we carried on our tour plan by joining one more person in the absentees place.Finally we are four in number,which is a good number i thought, because it suits well in many places like hotel, getting a 4 seater table is easier than a 5 seater.
I started from Pune by taking a flight and reached Bangalore in the evening ,then took a train to Coimbatore.Eventhough i went to Coimbatore ,few times,i never stayed in city.So i don’t know much about it.I just enquired and made sure,that the train i am travelling goes upto Coimbatore and halt as it is the last station.I had a good sleep and didn’t bother to get up in the morning in the right time. Even the train reached the station early,i was still sleeping.Thanks to the person, who came there to wake me up and say that its the last station ,please get up.By the time i woke up and my cellphone charge was almost dried up,then i realized i didn’t note my friends number who came by another train from Chennai.Then i immediately noted down their numbers,and my crappy phone was still searching for a network in the city, then i called my friends,who were already searching for me in Coimbatore junction.
We took a bus to pollachi and boarded in a lodge.We stayed there in Pollachi,for two days during which we travelled to many places like Aliyar,Vaalparai and Thirumoorthi falls.Then on the third of the trip we boarded the bus for Munnar ,from the Udumalai.From there the journey hours are 3hr 45 mins,fully through the western ghats of around 80 kms.We reached Munnar and immediately felt the weather was too good at that time.We enquired the localites and came to know that we are very lucky in one way the nature prepared to give us a pleasant stay in Munnar.They told us that it used to be hotter during that time,but there are early signs of monsoon,which caused the place to be cloudy and the temperature was very cool.
We found Munnar is a very good place for honeymoon.Still we can enjoy as a bachelor too.Munnar is a place which is more natural and less commercialised.It is a very small town,in which tourist attraction and tea estates are the main business. All you can get here is the greenery which was widely spread throughout the hills by tea plantations and eucalyptus trees.
All we did the first day was just walking across streets and feel the soothing atmosphere.We wanted nothing else here.The atmosphere itself speaks to our mind.Later in the day,temperature was very low and we stayed ourselves in room ,playing cards after long time with group of friends.Munnar is populated with mixed Tamil and Malayalam cultures.One who knows tamil easily roam as if it is a tamilnadu,due to high tamil population here.
Next day we started early and hired a autoricksaw which charged 600 bucks for showing the most part of Munnar in one whole day.Autorickshaws are cheaper and more comfortable to have a view of the widespread hillstation tea plantations while passing through.
Photpoint :
This is the first point in the hills which is famous for picturesque of tea plantations.We stopped by here and had few snaps.Look from here was really good.
Honeypoint:
Next comes the Honey point,where age old honeybees was there in the tree.It is a spot which is on the way to Kundalay lake.
Mattupetty Dam :
Another dam to watch out for .Good attractions here are the Speed boat trip which was really amusing.
The twists and turns the boat rider takes adds thrill to your trip.
EchoPoint:
Most Hillstations have a echo point.Here it is a small one,near the river.Another good point to pass time nicely.
Kundalay Lake:
It is a lake surrounded with mostly eucalyptus trees.Another good area to roam around and enjoy.There is a waterfalls called Attukad waterfalls but no water there.
RajaMalai:
This point is different direction,around 13km from the Munnar town.Ticket cost to enter this park is 35 per head.They are taking people in a mini bus to the top the hill.Here you can walk around and see the rare mountain goats living here.It is the highest peak here.
Overall Munnar is a place for relaxtion of body and mind. The usual urban schedule living in a closed space,puts you a narrow minded.Coming here and just seeing the widespread hills makes you mentally expanding your mind naturally along with the view throughout the hills.
I realized the famous tamil poet Bharathiyar words rightly so
‘Kakai kuruvi engal jaathi ,Neel kadalum Malayum engal kootam ‘
which means “Crow,sparrows are our race,lengthy mountains and oceans are our group”
There is a easiest and fastest way to draw a sequence diagram in the internet which many not aware of.Nothing to install on your machine.You can avail this if you have a internet connection.
No more waste of time in using MS visio or Rational Rose ,dragging the lines,moving the text boxes etc.
All you need is to give is a very simple instruction to get the diagram ready in seconds ;-)
Go to
http://www.websequencediagrams.com/ Type in a code like below :
And then click Draw .You will get Sequence diagram like below ready in seconds :)
Moreover it provides the same diagram in various formats you wish.
Rational Rose look:
Learn these simple instructions and save your time ;-)
Instructions and Examples : Lifeline Activation and DestructionUse the activate and deactivate keywords to denote object activation. While activated, the participant's lifeline will be highlighted. The activate/deactivate keywords will apply to the previous signal.
You can use the destroy keyword to destroy a participant. The participant's lifeline will end at the previous signal.
User->A: DoWork
activate A
A->B: <
>
activate B
B->C: DoWork
activate C
C-->B: WorkDone
destroy C
B-->A: RequestCreated
deactivate B
A->User: Done
Changing the order of participants
If you want to participants to be shown in a different order than they are used, declare them first using the participant keyword. You can also rename them this way to save typing.
participant Bob
participant Alice
participant "I have a really\nlong name" as L
Alice->Bob: Authentication Request
Bob->Alice: Authentication Response
Bob->L: Log transaction
Grouping signals together
You can group signals together using the alt/else, opt, and loop keywords. All of them can take a text description that will be displayed in the group header. Use the end keyword to signal the end of a group. The groups may be nested to any depth.
Alice->Bob: Authentication Request
alt successful case
Bob->Alice: Authentication Accepted
else some kind of failure
Bob->Alice: Authentication Failure
opt
loop 1000 times
Alice->Bob: DNS Attack
end
end
else Another type of failure
Bob->Alice: Please repeat
end
Notes in the diagram
You can add notes to your diagram. Notes can be placed to the left of a participant or to the right of a participant. In addition, you can centre a note over one or more participants.
participant Alice
participant Bob
note left of Alice
This is displayed
left of Alice.
end note
note right of Alice: This is displayed right of Alice.
note over Alice: This is displayed over Alice.
note over Alice, Bob: This is displayed over Bob and Alice.

Got bored in Office.Wanted to see some movies.Here is the easiest way to do some time pass in your office.
All you need is a tool that searches your LAN and list you all the movies,audios etc. from your Local Area Network.
When you have movies shared by your friends,unknown friends ;-),why to bother.Make use of all those :)
For this purpose,i use a demo tool developed by Amit Dey from NIT Rourkela.
About the Tool :
LanScan is a tool designed for the purpose of searching for files and folders which are shared over a Local Area Network.
It is particularly useful in organizations where a lot of folders are shared on individual systems.
You can download this tool free from here:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/lanscan.aspx
User : dbbtvlzfpz@mailinator.com
Password :dbbtvlzfpz
No need of installation .Just unzip and start using it :D
Double click lanscan.exe and open it.Configure ip address range,where it has to search.
Try to give a less range,so that this tool will perform faster search.
Select from the options what you wanted to search ,like video,audio,software etc.then Click G0.
It will list you all the files which matched your search criteria.You can right click and open folder to see
the files.
You can do CTRL+A and CTRL+V to copy all list and load it a to excel file and start sharing your friends,so they also don't have to
search everytime ,they can look into this and can get whatever is listed in it :)
This tool i found to be very useful.If you have ever used a better tool than this ,please add a comment about it.
Enjoy :) :) :-)

View Movies with Subtitle:

All you need is a video file along with a subtitle file (.srt/.sub).
Just keep the same name to both the files

Any Media player will picks automatically and play the movie along with subtitles automatically.
VLC Player displays its automatically.No config changes required.
In other Players like Power DVD,Nero Showtime etc.you need to enable the setting for displaying subtitles and select the language :english
If don't have the srt file,then Just go to any website that provides you subtitles and
download it.
eg .
www.subtitlesource.org How to edit Subtitles : Most of the time,Subtitle and the Video matches.In case your subtitle is not matching with your videos,for
example
1. Subtitles are getting displayed before/after the actual frame in the video
2.Say you have a two video files (Cd1,cd2) but only one srt or the other way,then how to split/merge subtitle files
In case you have such a problem,then you can edit and resolve that problem,using a Free software called
Subtitle Workshop.
It provides various ways of editing subtitles.
Adjust subtitles using four possible methods:
1- first and last dialogs,
2- synchronize using two points (linear algorithm),
3- Adjust to synchronized subtitles and
4- Advanced system to synchronize subtitles using an indefinite number of points.
Apart from these,it includes various other features,that are all required in editing subtitles.
